| VULTURE RESCUE AT KAZIRANGA |
TCF Kaziranga rescued a Himalayan Griffon vulture
Gyps
himalayensis, a ‘near threatened' species, found in critical condition near Jorhat, Assam. The telltale symptoms such as the drooping neck of the large raptor suggests toxicity due to diclofenac consumption, although this could not be confirmed in the absence of a rapid diagnostic test for diclofenac detection. After weeks of treatment post its rescue, TCF is overjoyed to report that the vulture has made a full recovery and will soon be released back into the wild! TCF continues to spread awareness about the dangers of diclofenac use in livestock treatment, and promotes the use of safe alternative drug meloxicam.

Women play a significant role in their families and are the stakeholders of the forests. The idea behind this initiative was to encourage women to utilize forest resources sustainably. These women are agreeing to conserve forests through sustainable use and will pass on this conservation message to their families and children for a better future and environment.
Women, as protectors of the forest, need direction and motivation to consume forest resources sustainably.
