February 22, 2023

Jatayu Conservation Breeding Centre (JCBC) has proposed to release Oriental white-backed Vultures in the wild in 2023-24.
JCBC is a joint project of Haryana Forest Department and Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS).
It was established in 2001 with UK Government Darwin Initiative for the Survival of Species’ fund, to investigate the dramatic declines in the resident Gyps species of vultures.
It houses three critically endangered species of Gyps Vultures, i.e. the Oriental white-backed, Long-billed and Slender-billed vultures.
