Threats, and impacts of vanishing Birds of prey-_their Conservation strategies

  • Abstract:
  • A lot of ecological, economic, and cultural services are provided by Vultures which are most successful scavengers.. Vultures live scavenging life and are obligate scavengers with unique adaptation. In this paper, we reviewed threats, and impacts of the decline of Birds of prey with particular reference to Kota Rajasthan. Vultures are medium to large-sized scavenging birds that primarily feed on carrions. , They deliver an array of services such as ecological, economic and cultural. Many harmful diseases like brucellosis, rabies, anthrax, plague, tuberculosis, etc. are prevented by Vultures as they feed on rotten carcasses .They are excellent indicators of biological status of environment in a particular area In the last two decades, drastic reduction in the numbers of vulture populations have been observed. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug named diclofenacin is the main culprit for such decline. However, other factors such as food scarcity, habitat loss are also recognized for decline in vulture population. Less vulture population has resulted in serious threats to wildlife, livestock, and human health.
