‘Flight of the Vultures’ (FOTV) is a series of 10 expeditions around the world, to sites where vultures are in massive decline, and conservationists are going to extraordinary lengths to try to save them.
FOR OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU OR YOUR COMPANY TO GET INVOLVED, SEE BELOW
Loved in some cultures and loathed in others, but essential to healthy ecosystems, this will be an exciting exploration into the lives of some fascinating creatures, how we can save them, and why have they been so misunderstood in so many places around the world.
This expedition will allow you to be with us as we join the birds high in the sky, down at dinner, and investigate what happens when we push species like the vultures to the brink, with shocking cost to humans and human life. This will be a thrilling and inspiring adventure but also a stirring call to action on the biodiversity crisis, and how we can all help.
Are you looking for an opportunity to support biodiversity in a way that has impact, engages all of your staff, your networks and your customers, and leaves a legacy you will all be proud of? We have several opportunities - see below for more details::

CREATIVE INDUSTRIES?
Could your company help us give vultures a critical, life-saving rebrand?
If ever a group of animals needed a rebrand & PR team on their side, the vultures do!
FOTV will gather vital data on the threats faced by this iconic bird and what we can do to save them. We will create a unique platform from which to engage, educate and empower communities along the flyway and further afield, promoting a deeper understanding of the challenges to migratory birds, both within and beyond the conservation community.
Previous expeditions have generated 1,000 articles and over $30 million in media coverage.
Sponsor our Education Program:
*FINDING YOUR WINGS*
This is the amazing education program our young people need!
Over 5 years of expeditions we have amassed a bank footage of incredible stories, that could ignite a passion for nature and help teachers build the skills and confidence in young people to build the greener economies of the future.
Our adventures in the natural world all around the UK and along the great migrations to and from this incredible island, will take young people into the skies and under water, and show them how to discover and harness the magic of nature near them.

As well as showcasing the plight of the vulture, this project will also help demonstrate the true costs of the biodiversity collapse. We therefore endorse the objectives of the Flight of the Vulture Project.
