In a significant move for wildlife conservation, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav released five endangered vultures into their natural habitat at the Halali Dam area of Raisen Forest Division. These vultures were rehabilitated at a conservation center in Bhopal and are now fitted with GPS tags, allowing researchers to monitor their activities remotely through satellite technology. The initiative aims to gain insights into the vultures' migration patterns, feeding areas, and the impacts of human activities such as electrocution and poisoning on their populations.

Among the released vultures, two different species were saved in injured states, highlighting the ongoing efforts to rehabilitate these majestic birds that are crucial for the ecosystem in central India. The two species include the Cinereous vulture, also known as the 'black vulture', which is one of the world's largest flying birds, and the Long-billed vulture, also known as the Indian vulture. The release provides hope for the future of these endangered species as they play an essential role in maintaining the ecological balance by scavenging on carcasses.

This endeavor is supported by conservation organizations such as Wildlife SOS, WWF-India, and the Bombay Natural History Society, showcasing a collaborative approach to wildlife conservation. The implementation of satellite telemetry through GPS-GSM transmitters will provide valuable data that can inform conservation strategies and help protect vultures and their habitats from threats posed by human activities. The initiative not only aims to track the vultures but also to raise awareness about the importance of these birds in the ecosystem and the need for their protection as a step towards preserving biodiversity in the region.
