It is also pertinent note that few months back the unaware town municipal administration had launched a drive to kill stray dogs in the neighbourhood and dumped animals openly at sand dunes. In result vultures living there came and ate the dead animals and died instantly. This loss created a panic among the wildlife conservationists and now the UNDP had awarded a project to the DDS to conserve the bird.

We are very careful while purchasing animals to feed the birds. Because, we know that several animals are vaccinated and may cause kidney failure and ultimate death of the vulture. We have a veterinary doctor at the post, who gets the history of animal before buying, whether it is vaccinated or not. We prefer to buy animals from the areas, where farmers usually avoid vaccinating their cattle and goats and utilize traditional methodology of treatment.

We have planned to accommodate meat and its natural feed there and arrange breeding so that sufficient stock of the bird can be preserved in the country.

In fact it is a great task the DDS has taken but the organization needs more resources to expand its activities to save the vulture and other wildlife species in the neighbourhood. This is an appeal to all the wildlife conservationists to extend their helping hand to DDS team so that we can achieve goal.
