The population status of critically endangered Slender-billed Vulture Gyps tenuirostris (SBV) in Nepal is estimated 50 individuals existed after rapid decline due to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID) Diclofenac (Oaks et al. 2004). In our knowledge, only 5 nests were successfully bred since 2006 in Kaski district (Gautam and Baral 2010a and Rufford 18962-1). The population decline of SBV was found due to electrocution, habitat loss, food scarcity and carcass poisoning. All of these activities are anthropogenic, and can be minimized after regular educating the people about the importance of the species.

Therefore, the project aims for the SBV conservation in Western Mid-hills of Nepal ( Kaski, Tanahu, Syanja, Palpa and Parbat) by finding the spatial distribution of SBV through direct observation method, detecting the threats, addressing proper recommendations, organizing community based conservation campaigns, awareness/advocacy programs and the publication of book on vultures of Nepal . Questionnaire survey will be conducted to collect people attitudes towards vulture conservation. Total 168 days will be spend in the field. After scientific analysis of data, final findings will be published and disseminated in different scientific journals, newspapers, libraries, stakeholders, governmental authorities, Universities and non-Governmental organizations.
