After 18 years Uttarakhand to count rare vultures

DEHRADUN:  For the first time in Uttarakhand, four species of vultures will be studied closely by attaching satellite tags to them. This predator-category bird is on the verge of extinction.  The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has classified them as endangered birds. The forest department has sought permission from the government to tag the birds for the study to be held under Rajaji and Corbett Tiger Reserves.
