THE VULTURE NETWORK

A moment of Crisis

India’s vultures are vanishing at an alarming rate — silently poisoned by certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) used for veterinary purposes and pushed to the brink by shrinking habitats and toxic food sources. Their loss is not just a wildlife crisis, but an ecological concern.

The Vulture Network (TVN) is a network of institutions, and individuals united for the conservation of globally threatened vultures.
