Rare vultures reappear in Punjab habitat
Vultures facing the security concern of extinction have begun reappearing in their natural habitats in Punjab, apparently following conservation efforts by the wildlife division.
According to representatives, a large number of Eurasian griffon vultures were observed two days ago in the Toba Tharo Lal area of Yazman in Rahim Yar Khan sector.
The sighting has drawn attention from wildlife experts, who described it as a significant progress.
The experts stated Eurasian griffon vultures are mainly found in the northern mountainous regions of Pakistan, including Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and parts of Balochistan.
Their presence in Punjab is considered limited and unusual, with sightings in southern areas such as Cholistan often linked to seasonal political push or search for food.
