Efforts to revive the dying vulture population in India and elsewhere are ongoing. The Jatayu (vulture) conservation project launched at the Tadoba and Andhari Tiger reserve a year ago by the Maharashtra forest department and the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) aims to reestablish endangered vulture populations, reported mid-day (MD) of January 2, 2025.
