Photos: 2018 Whitley Awards
The Whitley Awards for Nature Conservation have been made for 2018. One of the six award recipients recognized by the Whitley Fund for Nature was Manir Virani, a raptor biologist who is working to preserve endangered vultures in Africa's Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. Varani left a promising cricket career to begin his project in 2003, following the Asian vulture crisis, which saw 40 million vultures poisoned by a now-banned anti-inflammatory and pain killing drug used in cattle. Winners are provided with funds to enhance their conservation projects.
