Quote:Residents of Lima are being advised to follow the proper guidelines when disposing of their trash because vultures are on their trail.:old:
The scavenging birds of prey are equipped with GPS tracking devices and GoPro cameras to help environment officials crack down on illegal waste dumps surrounding the Peruvian capital.
[Vultures] play a very important role in nature, especially in Lima as they're helping a lot to control a large quantity of the rubbish we're dumping.
Vulture trainer Alfredo Correa
Experts said the vultures were the ideal bird to take on such a task, with no preparation was needed to lead them to waste deposits because they naturally sought organic matter and garbage in their search for food.
