Today, bloggers from all over the world are spreading the love for vultures, by participating in the IVAD09 virtual event.

All participants of IVAD09 aim to raise awareness about the important role vultures play in our environment and the alarming problems vultures are facing today. Birdlife.org posted: ‘The world needs to learn to love vultures – or lose them‘.

Lets make that happen!

Is your country represented yet? Perhaps you can contact your local bird conservation organisation and tell them about IVAD09.

But remember, you don’t have to be a zoo, bird park or conservation organisation to become involved. Every individual can support IVAD09 by participating in the Blog Festival. Write about, film, draw or photograph vultures and post your permalink here on September the 5th. Mr Linky will take care of your link. Don’t forget to put the adorable Blog for Vultures badge in your post!
