As per IUCN Redlist the global population of this vulture species ranges from 4000-6000 mature individuals

Distribution

Gyps bengalensis occurs in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and southern Viet Nam, and may be extinct in southern China and Malaysia (BirdLife International 2001).

Threats

The White-rumped Vulture, listed as Critically Endangered by IUCN, has suffered catastrophic declines, with only a few thousand mature individuals left in the wild. The primary threat is poisoning from the veterinary drug diclofenac, which causes fatal kidney failure when vultures feed on contaminated livestock carcasses. Other toxic NSAIDs like aceclofenac and ketoprofen pose similar dangers. The species is also at risk from secondary poisoning, when vultures consume carcasses laced with pesticides or poisons meant for feral dogs and carnivores. Habitat loss, reduced food availability, nesting disturbance, electrocution, and tree felling further add to its decline, demanding urgent conservation action.  Click for more info
