Vultures are major scavengers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but it's becoming increasingly difficult for them to find enough food. 

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the highest plateau in the world, with an average elevation of more than 4,000 meters. Parts of the plateau span southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region and Qinghai Province in the country's northwestern region. 

This August, join CGTN to explore the secret lives of the Himalayan vultures living on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Today, CGTN brings you the 11th installment of the 16-episode series.
