Jharkhand has entered into a five-year collaboration with the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) to enhance conservation efforts for the critically endangered vulture species. The initiative focuses on the Oriental White-backed and Long-billed Vultures and includes the establishment of a new Vulture Conservation Breeding Centre at Muta. With technical support from BNHS, the programme emphasizes scientific breeding methods, capacity building, and long-term species recovery. This partnership contributes to India’s broader vulture conservation and recovery strategy, addressing population decline and strengthening ecological balance through sustained conservation action.
