Right to Soar High Again: Establishing a Vulture Safe Zone in Southern India

Establish, through targeted awareness-raising and community engagement activities, a 'Vulture Safe Zone' in the Mysore-Nilgiri-Sathyamangalam landscape, where no cattle carcasses have veterinary drugs harmful to vultures. Undertake participatory research to evolve a long-term strategy for vulture conservation. Engage vulture conservation brigades, frontline forest department staff, and local civil society groups in public outreach, monitoring and conservation activities.
