Pressing Time for Lord of Sky

Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) and Assam Forest department which are jointly working on creating a safe zone for vultures in Assam has planned to collect 800 samples of dead animal to analyze harmful NSAIDs, nonsteroidal inflammatory drugs.
The samples from the carcass will be taken from the areas under the jurisdiction of the proposed safe zone. “Once the absence of harmful toxic, particularly of diclofenac is found in the carcass, it will help us achieve our goal,” Sachin P Ranade, a scientist with BNSH said. “The area will be assumed without any boundary. Our study will be scientific to make evaluations to get a result,” Ranade makes it clear. Before going on to release the captive-bred vulture in the wild, making a zone completely free from dreaded diclofenac is quintessential. Several centers on captive breeding of vultures have come up in India.In Assam, the VCBC center is located at Rani where vultures in captivity have so far bred 38 chicks.
