The Forest and Wildlife Department in association with the Hume Centre for Ecology and Wildlife Biology has launched a programme titled “Vulture Watch” in the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, the only region where vultures thrive in the State, to conserve the bird population.
The one-month programme envisages observing and recording sightings of the different vulture species in and around the sanctuary to understand the status and presence of the scavenger bird, says C.K. Vishnudas, Director of the Hume centre.
The programme is organised as a part of Vulture Awareness Day to highlight the significance of vulture conservation, he says.
