Cape Griffon Vulture Research
Conservation activities are at the heart of the REST commitment to the Cape Griffon Vulture.
It is imperative to provide an uncontaminated food source to the birds we need to observe. Two main feeding sites are currently used. REST headquarters feeds once a week in order to monitor birds and the Waterberg Plateau Park feeds about once a month. Our food is donated by our neighbors, Okonjima Lodge and their associated famous wildlife project – the Africat Foundation. They need to feed cats that are in rehabilitation or non releasable and the vultures will eat many animal parts that the cats do not eat.
