Out of nine species
Two species,
Cinereous vulture
and Eurasian Griffon
are migratory
species, and rest
other 7 are resident
species of India.
However, Himalayan
vulture is a regional
migrant with
different wintering
and breeding sites
within Indian states
(Prakash, et.al,
2003).
17. Impact of decline
Ecological impact: The rise in the number of unattended carcasses directly affects human health. The carcass
can serve as a potential breeding ground for many pathogens that will lead to the likelihood of direct and
indirect infections such as anthrax, rabies, etc. (Pain, et.al, 2003) (Prakash, et.al, 2003). Diseases affecting
livestock such as brucellosis, tuberculosis increases with increase in pathogens and vectors, associated with
putrefying carrion (Prakash, 1999). Unattended rotten carrions or carcasses will pollute the environment (air,
soil, and water), which may result in the increased incidence of anthrax and water-borne diseases to human
(Markandya, et.al, 2008).
