Als natuurlijke afvalverwerkers zijn gieren vitaal voor ons ecosysteem -- waarom hebben ze dan zo'n slechte reputatie? Waarom zijn er zoveel met uitsterven bedreigd?

Munir Virani is a raptor biologist and wildlife photographer, and Director of the Peregrine Fund Africa Program, devoted to conserving birds of prey. Full bio »
