Vultures have existed for eons – as part of our mythology, amongst Egyptian Pharos and
Greek legends. Yet in a short span of 20 years, they are close to extinction in South Asia and
beyond. Today they are classified as critically‐endangered by the International Union for
the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as the population of vultures has declined by an
alarming rate of over 99 per cent during the last two decades.
In an attempt to address some of these pertinent question and find out ways to preserve
these birds, Toxics Link and India International Centre organized a film screening and
panel discussion on “The Magnificent Vulture – End of the Road?” at India International
Centre on 20th March 2013.
