AGRA: Nature lovers and bird watchers on Saturday expressed grave concern over the fast declining vulture population in the country and demanded a national policy for their conservation.

At a meeting to observe the International Vulture Awareness Day organized by the Biodiversity Research and Development Society (BRDS) in collaboration with green groups through video-conferencing, activists demanded firm action by government agencies to conserve the vulture population.

Environmentalist Devashish Bhattacharya said vultures as scavengers have a very critical role in the eco-system. Unfortunately, a large number of these birds have been killed by poachers who have been supplying them for medicinal purposes. (IANS)
