HYDERABAD: While the proposed sanctuary for conservation of vultures in Adilabad’s Bejjur has failed to take off, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has classified Indian vulture as critically endangered even as its population is decreasing.
IUCN’s latest red list of 2021 put the population of vultures on the decline. Palarapugutta cliff habitat in Penchikalpet forest range of Bejjur is one of the major breeding sites for the long-billed vulture.
