Dated January 19,2016, this image serves as a reminder to the residents of Lima about the importance of proper waste disposal practices. Equipped with GPS tracking devices and GoPro cameras, these majestic creatures are playing a vital role in helping environment officials combat illegal waste dumps that surround Peru's capital city. As they soar through the skies above Lima, these vultures capture valuable footage and data that assist authorities in cracking down on environmental offenders. The close-up shot showcases the vulture's intense gaze as it looks directly into the camera lens. Its sharp beak and piercing eyes reflect its predatory nature while also highlighting its crucial role as an indicator species for environmental health.
