The extinction of vultures in Nigeria has been described as a matter of concern which tends to pose a lot of danger to people’s health and immediate environment. This was said by the ‘Save vulture’ campaign ambassador for the Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF), Mrs Mariam Longe, at a book reading event, which held on Friday, 22nd April, 2022, at the American Corner in Lagos. She said, “I’m an ambassador for the Save Vulture campaign. Not only did I find out that they helped to keep our environment clean, but I found out that they’re critically endangered. He said, “vultures are pivotal to the conservation of environment, especially when it comes to taking away all of the crumbs and all of the decaying carcasses of animals that we see in our environment on daily basis.
