Protect populations of three Critically Endangered species of vultures in Myanmar, the white-rumped vulture (Gyps bengalensis), slender-billed vulture (Gyps tenuirostris), and red-headed vulture (Sarcogyps calyus), by working with local communities at two key sites in Shan State and Kachin State to change local attitudes toward vulture conservation, establish community-based vulture conservation groups, and address threats related to lack of food for vultures, and the use of the veterinary drug Diclofenac.
