Assam Environment Minister Releases Ten Captive‑Bred Vultures into Wild at Biswanath Division

Assam Environment Minister responsible for the state's natural resources personally supervised the release of ten captive‑bred vultles, ensuring the birds were safely transported and set free in the Biswanath Wildlife Division, a protected area known for its forested terrain.

The ten vultures raised in captivity under a breeding program designed to support the species were released together, allowing them to begin life in the wild and potentially join existing vulture communities within the division's ecosystem.

Biswanath Wildlife Division located in the northeastern state of Assam serves as a critical habitat for many wildlife species, and the release site was chosen for its suitable environment and proximity to natural food sources for the vultures.

Conservation officials will monitor the vultures' adaptation over the coming months, tracking their movements and health to assess the success of the captive‑breeding release strategy.
