在印度南部的瓦亞納德保護區，26月2026年展開了為期兩天的禿鷲調查。這項活動配合喀拉拉邦野生動物週，匯集了森林部門、印度世界自然基金會以及休姆生態與生物學中心的共同努力。
禿鷲在自然界中扮演著無可替代的角色：牠們迅速清除腐肉，防止腐爛遺骸堆積，並降低病原體傳播的風險。牠們的活動促進養分循環，維護整片地景的健康。
瓦亞納德對於三種留鳥的保育尤其重要：白背禿鷲、紅頭禿鷲和印度禿鷲。該地區屬於尼爾吉里生物圈保護區，那裡棲息著為這些鳥類提供食物的大型哺乳動物。
有時這裡也會記錄到候鳥禿鷲——喜馬拉雅禿鷲和黑禿鷲。這凸顯了該保護區作為廣大區域一部分的角色，這片區域為這些專性食腐鳥類的不同物種所利用。
這項聯合調查將有助於釐清這些鳥類目前的分布與數量。這類數據有助於在環境變遷的條件下規劃保護棲地和食物來源的措施。
主辦方強調，禿鷲不僅僅是「清道夫」，而是生態系的重要一環，牠們的福祉反映出整個地區自然的狀況。
對這類物種的定期監測，有助於及時察覺變化，並做出維護野生自然平衡的決策。
