March 2016: Vulture Safe Zone Report

Following the second gathering of Vulture Safe Zone (VSZ) practioners from across South Asia, held in Lucknow in October, the report is now available of the meeting which showcases experience and best VSZ practice examples, explains various methodologies in some detail, and also discusses the challenges and solutions. The report highlights just how far VSZ work has evolved since the first meeting held at Pinjore in 2012. We believe this report together with the Vulture Special in Mistnet give clear guidance for an increasing number of well oriented VSZ initiatives across the region, and we hope it will help to inspire and steer more of them. The meeting was hosted by BNHS with RSPB and SOS support, but with very significant support and engagement by Uttar Pradesh Forest Department, Animal Husbandry Department and Food and Drug Administration.
