| Abstract | Vultures are known for their valuable ecosystem services, very sensitive to environmental changes and act as excellent bioindicator of ecosystem health. The Indian subcontinent is home to nine species of vultures namely bearded vulture, himalayan griffon, eurasian griffon, egyptian vulture, oriental white-backed vulture, long-billed vulture, slender billed vulture, red headed vulture and cinereous vulture. There was drastic decline in vulture population in the Indian subcontinent in the early 1990s. However after the launch of several conservation initiatives by Government and NGOs, the decline of vulture population has been controlled. There are various conservation research studies which have been carried out by various researchers. Here we present some notes on various sightings of the vultures in the Shivalik landscape which is the youngest mountain in India. |
