Brand new episode out now. All about the wonderful Secretary Bird!

This work is being supported by the Hawk Conservancy Trust and and Saving Asia's Vultures from Extinction (SAVE), an international consortium working for the conservation of vultures - the core partners of WWF-Pakistan

[WWF-Pakistan @WWFPak]

The tagging and release of these vultures will not only help monitor their movements but also provide insights into their behaviour and survival rates. By identifying causes of mortality in tagged birds, we can address conservation challenges and take steps to mitigate them.

[WWF-Pakistan @WWFPak]

Our expert ornithologist, Jamshed Iqbal, is currently training with vulture experts on ringing and transmitter tagging in the buffer zone of Chitwan National Park, Nepal. Once he is back, he plans to ring & tag a few captive-bred white-rumped vultures & release them in the wild.

Important to ban this drug, based on the evidence. Nimesulide not registered in #Pakistan - the best time to ban something is before it is registered! @WWFPak @SAVE_vultures @HawkConservancy
