International Vulture Awareness Day 2024.
The Indian Vulture, also known as the Indian Long-billed Vulture (Gyps indicus), is a majestic and critically endangered bird of prey. Once a common sight in India, these scavenging birds have faced drastic declines due to habitat loss, poisoning, and human persecution. Characterized by their distinctive long, slender bills and broad wingspans, Indian Vultures play a vital role in disposing of carcasses, preventing disease outbreaks, and maintaining ecosystem balance.
