Objectives of the Bearded Vulture Recovery Programme:

• Achieve a significant reduction in mortality caused unintentionally by toxic substances used in the control of problem animals.
• Achieve a significant reduction in mortality caused by the trade in Bearded Vulture parts for belief-based use.
• Achieve a significant reduction in persecution and disturbance of Bearded Vulture.
• Prevent or substantially reduce Bearded Vulture mortality caused by collisions with energy generation and transmission infrastructure.
• Ensure availability of an appropriate level of safe food across the Bearded Vulture range.
• Ensure availability of sufficient suitable habitat for Bearded Vultures to breed and forage Maintain an ex-situ genetic reserve of the southern African Bearded Vulture and supplement the existing population and/or restore populations where extinct.
• Promote Bearded Vulture conservation through cross-cutting actions in relation to education & awareness,  Support Bearded Vulture conservation through cross-cutting actions in relation to research and monitoring Administration of the Bearded Vulture Task Force.
• Fundraising for Project sustainability.

Objectives of the Cape Vulture Project:

• Expand the supplementary feeding programme, increasing the availability of safe, suitably positioned  food for vulture consumption.
• Mitigate wind energy, create sensitivity maps, continue satellite tracking.
• Mitigation of energy structures (power line electrocution & collisions).
• Create a better understanding of traditional use of vultures. Review the traditional use trade strategy.
• Collect and analyse data to facilitate adaptive management of cape vultures.
• Assess quality and quantity of food available to cape vultures.
• Reduce and mitigate the number of vulture poisonings.
• Pursue various opportunities regionally and nationally.
• Understand and address the threat of vulture use in traditional beliefs.
• Reduce Cape Vulture electrocutions and collisions.  Identify high-risk areas and monitor power line risks.
• Create awareness of the plight of vultures. Set up a national educational campaign. Target farmers, general public, schools, media etc.

Objectives of the Zululand Vulture Tagging Project

• Determine the causes of mortality.
• Determine the survival rate of the species, and what influences or inhibits population growth.
• Examine changes in breeding population size and range.
• Promote vulture conservation through the involvement of volunteers, students, researchers, landowners and other interested parties.
• Address the threat of poisoning.
•  Address the use of vultures in illegal trade and traditional medicine.
• Create an awareness around the species and its conservation status.
