Egyptian Vulture
Neophron percnopterus

As per IUCN Redlist the global population of this vulture species ranges from 12400-36000 mature individuals

Distribution

The Egyptian Vulture (Neophron percnopterus) has a wide distribution, ranging from southern Europe and the Mediterranean through North Africa and the Middle East to Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. In Europe and Central Asia, it is largely migratory, wintering in Africa and South Asia, while resident populations remain year-round in parts of India, the Middle East, and Africa. The species occupies a variety of habitats, from semi-arid plains and scrublands to open mountains and human-dominated landscapes, often near villages where food is available.

Threats

The Egyptian Vulture (Neophron percnopterus) is threatened by poisoning from poisoned baits and veterinary drugs like diclofenac. Habitat loss from agriculture and development has reduced nesting and feeding grounds, while powerline electrocution, food scarcity, and disturbance at nesting sites further endanger populations. Illegal persecution in some regions worsens the decline. These combined threats have led to drastic population reductions, making the species globally endangered and in urgent need of conservation action. IUCN has categorised this species as Endagered.  Click for more info
