Vultures on Patrol: Using GPS-Tracked Sentinels to Combat Wildlife Poisoning

Wildlife poisoning remains one of the most insidious forms of environmental crime. Its covert nature hinders detection, undermines conservation efforts, and threatens ecological integrity [2,3]. A recent study published in Conservation Letters introduces a novel solution: combining GPStracked vultures with on-ground anti-poison patrols and spatial risk mapping to enhance the detection and prevention of poisoning in northwestern Spain [4].
