Moreover, high mortality among young birds can result in too few new adult birds eventually being added to maintain the population.\"}}]}<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5715dbf e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5715dbf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1322a65 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1322a65\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1884653 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1884653\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">In summary<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d45074 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2d45074\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><strong>Protect the entire landscape:<\/strong> nature conservation is not just about national parks, but also about areas where birds live, breed, and forage outside protected zones.<\/li><li><strong>Give young birds a chance:<\/strong> young birds are extra vulnerable and need safe habitats, sufficient food, and rest to reach adulthood.<\/li><li><strong>Safari is more than the Big Five: <\/strong>during a safari, also look up and discover the fascinating world of African birds of prey and other extraordinary birds.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-435a61e e-con-full e-grid e-con e-child\" data-id=\"435a61e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b8a1aa e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1b8a1aa\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b451866 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b451866\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-264f075 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"264f075\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be253ad elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"be253ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A bird safari at your own pace<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-526d279 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"526d279\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Anyone traveling to East Africa today might still get the chance to admire these impressive birds in their natural habitat.<\/p><p><button type=\"button\" aria-controls=\"assistant-sources-dialog\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" data-assistant-content-reference=\"\" data-assistant-sources-trigger=\"\" data-assistant-sources-payload=\"[{\" data-assistant-url-reference=\"\" data-content-reference-type=\"url\"><span data-assistant-reference-title=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lazylionsafaris.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LAZY LION SAFARIS<\/a> organizes small-scale and tailor-made safaris in Tanzania and East Africa.<\/span><\/button>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Large African birds of prey such as vultures, secretary birds, and eagles are disappearing rapidly.
