Vulture conservation is also about protecting the places they call home. From nesting trees and cliffs to suitable natural landscapes, their habitats shape their ability to thrive.

आसमान में उड़ता एक गिद्ध सिर्फ एक पक्षी नहीं, हमारे प्राकृतिक संसार की एक ज़रूरी कड़ी है।

From diamonds beneath the earth to a wetland shaped by the river—the name itself carries a piece of the region's history.
