Vulture Conservation in Central Gujarat

Dear supporters!

While the Covid-19 crisis is affecting the whole world, In India we are also facing a nationwide lockdown which is restricting our work to help sick and injured animals but despite the challenges, we are providing emergency services to rescue and facilitate the medical assistance for all animals and birds are in need.

In India April month is the beginning of the summer when we receive most of the cases of dehydration in both animals and birds. Likewise, this April we have rescued three juvenile migrated Eurasian Griffon Vultures from Kadi, Central Gujarat with severe dehydration and weakness. After bringing them to Jivdaya Charitable Trust, Ahmedabad, these baby vultures were monitored overnight and treated with general fluid therapy. The good news is that, these endangered species of birds are showing significant improvement in our facility.

Donors, during this difficult time your contribution will help us to treat many such cases successfully and will be able to provide a pain free life to these innocent lives.

This juvenile migrated Vulture (Eurasian Griffon) was found by our field volunteers in a dehydrated and starved state at the area of Himmatnagar, Sabarkanta District Gujarat, India. The reason for this cause was unknown but the bird was weak enough and unable to take long flight. After receiving information immediately our rescue team with curator was rescued the vulture and brought to our facility- hospital at Jivdaya charitable trust, Ahmedabad. Overnight it was monitored and treated.

After our expert’s clinical examination we found, it might not have received food for since last 2-3 days, due to this severe weakness and dehydrated was observed. The bird is under observation and showing positive sign of improvement in its health.

On September 5, 2019 Jivdaya Charitable Trust organized International Vulture Awareness Day for the ground level volunteers and vet doctors with Bird Conservation Society Gujarat

Vultures are the ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are extinction. The overall aim/objective of the International Vulture Awareness Day programme is to developing awareness level about critically endangered vulture and highlights the ecological importance and threads facing by them.

The local volunteers and vet doctor were sensitized about different threats to vulture includes poisoning for the traditional medicine trade or by poachers, agricultural poisoning through the illegal use of poisons, accidental poisoning by feeding on meat containing lead or harmful veterinary products, and electrocution and collision with the ever-expanding energy network.

We make this possible just due to your help and support.
