And this terrifying disease may ultimately(最终)affect humans in the region,【C9】______wild dogs are its main carriers. Rabies could also spread to other animal species,【C10】______an even greater problem in the future.
The need for action is【C11】______, so an emergency project has been launched to find a solution to this serious vulture problem. Scientists are trying to【C12】______the disease causing the birds’ deaths and, if possible, develop a cure.

All three species are now listed as "critically endangered". As most vultures lay only single eggs and【C15】______about five years to reach maturity, reversing their population decline will be a long and difficult exercise.
