Waste management has a wide-range of implications on huma wealth, water resources, water and environmental quality and consequently, bird life. Scavengers such as vultures, raptors and marabou storks are attracted to waste in search of food, however, without proper waste management systems and plan, waste can expose these birds to threats of poisoning and pose dangers to their life. Actions such as recycling plastic and proper disposal of waste are some actions the average person can take to contribute to conserving biodiversity and achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
