This micro-project intended to serve treatment and rehabilitation of raptors in Ahmedabad. Every year thousands of raptors are injured, displaced, orphaned, and suffer illness due to anthropogenic threats. We rescue, treat, and rehabilitate raptors of over 50 species including critically endangered vultures.
Over 10,000 birds of more than 150 species are annually injured during Uttarayan festival due to the sharp, glass powder coated 'Manja' cutting their wings. Over 10,000 babies of water birds and raptors are displaced due to habitat degradation, and loss of nesting areas. Annual deaths of an average of 20 critically endangered white-rumped vultures are reported due to unnatural factors like 'Manja' injuries, indirect poisoning, human interference, illegal deforestation, electrocution, etc.
We treat and rehabilitate injured, ill, orphaned, and displaced Raptors using science based guidelines and protocols. By treating and rehabilitating these common and endangered species of raptors we can restore and balance the ecology.
Ensure conservation and rehabilitation of endangered as well as common raptor (Birds of prey) species of Ahmedabad through scientific rehabilitation, and public education.
