Summary: VulPro is a vulture conservation organization in South Africa which has contributed to vulture research and rehabilitation since 2007. The organization’s efforts focus on captive breeding, rehabilitation, and research of the Cape vulture (Gyps coprotheres). The paper describes in detail VulPro’s methods for mass capturing using a specially designed walk-in trap, handling, weighing, collecting blood samples, and fitting patagial tags and tracking devices on vulture species. These protocols were employed with four species of southern African vultures: Cape vulture (Gyps coprotheres), African White-backed vulture (Gyps africanus), Lappet-faced vulture (Torgos tracheliotos), and Hooded vulture (Necrosyrtes monachus), but may be applied with other similar species.
