Vulture Safety Zones

Aim of developing VSZs is to establish targeted awareness activities surrounding 150 km radius of vultures’ colonies so that no diclofenac or the veterinary toxic drugs are found in cattle carcasses.

The VSZ is spread around in several hundred kilometres covering the Jim Corbett in Uttarakhand, Dudhwa and Kartamiaghat forest reserves in UP which is adjoining the Indo-Nepal border.

Nepal has already set up VSZ on the Indian borders.
