The tagging and release of these vultures will not only help monitor their movements but also provide insights into their behaviour and survival rates. By identifying causes of mortality in tagged birds, we can address conservation challenges and take steps to mitigate them.

Our expert ornithologist, Jamshed Iqbal, is currently training with vulture experts on ringing and transmitter tagging in the buffer zone of Chitwan National Park, Nepal. Once he is back, he plans to ring & tag a few captive-bred white-rumped vultures & release them in the wild.
Take a look at this important new paper shining a light on tiny populations and the key role of zoos 👏
