International Vulture Awareness Day
The first Saturday on first of September Jivdaya Charitable trust celebrated International Vulture Awareness Day.
Vultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction.
The International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event.
It is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists.
On this day, our aim was to carry out activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness.
Jivdaya Charitable Trust carried out awareness program for skinners so that vultures are provided with safe ,enough and hygienic food at Dabhla Panjrapole.
At Jivdaya charitable trust we also did presentation on “Awareness and advocacy to Gaushala and Panjrapole people and Veterinary doctors to stop using Diclofenac.” for saving vultures and providing safe food.
