Vultures

One more White-rumped vulture (Dangar giddha) was found dead near the Kerunge River at Kawasoti-3, Bardghat Susta of Nawalparasi East.

The vultures are vanishing due to climate change impacts, shrinking habitation, the use of medicines, and lack of prey.

Until ten-fifteen years ago, vultures used to live near high simal trees and village houses to feed on dead livestock.

Eight vultures reared at the Vulture Breeding Center in Chitwan National Park have been released into the wild today.

Endangered California condors can have “virgin births,” according to a study released Thursday.

Conservationists are encouraged by the rising vulture population in Kanchanpur.
