- Did you know that Tamil Nadu boasts the largest population of vultures south of the Vindhya Mountain Range?
A synchronized vulture census was conducted on February 25 and 26, 2023 in the Mudumalai, Sathyamangalam, Bandipur and Waynad tiger reserves by the Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka forest departments.
In Mudumalai, 30 teams were formed, and in total, a hundred teams were involved in this census.
The purpose was to get an estimated population of these vultures, so that long-term planning can be done to save these birds from extinction.
In the Niligiris biosphere reserve, this is the only area where good number of vultures are seen.
According to vulture experts, Mudumalai is the only place where there are nesting sites for the vultures to breed.
Three vulture species that can be seen in Mudumalai tiger reserve are the Red headed vulture, White-rumped vulture, and the long-billed vulture.
The long-billed vulture and white-rumped vulture have been declared as critically endangered species.
Occasional migrants such as the Himalayan griffon vulture and the Cinerous vulture are also spotted each year.
Why is the vulture population declining?

These are the real issues which all media houses must raise every day in the special episode to aware people and to put pressure on society and government to act.
But this great nation is now busy in baseless debates and discussion.

Parliament should focus on making a policy on such pressing issues rather than doing what they are doing

There is a need to ban such drugs overall India within 5 to 10-years.
India should be Proud bcoz no vultures are there in the world wide and there should be a huge support and safety measures to the birds to protect them .
huh?
These vulture were once found in all over India ....and now within such a short period thy r rare...we need to work for these birds
Not only vultures, but every animal, bird, insects, reptiles will be extinct gradually except human and the ones whom human grows commercially like chicken,goat.
Great efforts and information about vultures gives a scary picture of the fate of all animals and humans who are prone to the dangers of man made disasters. Quite a large number of species are already extinct and it is only a matter of time for the living organisms to perish with the ever increasing traffic, polluting companies and burning toxins like the one that happened in Cochin and the threats looming over in other parts of our country.
Thank you sir. Video is very informative. I request you sir Please ADD SUBTITLE.
