In recent years in the context of rapid climate change, population pressure and ever-growing environmental pollution, Bangladesh has been losing many of its diverse floral and faunal species. In this regard, as a National Member of SAVE (Saving Asia’s Vultures from Extinction), POJF has been participating in annual SAVE Meetings.
Working from the very grassroots level, POJF continues to contribute in conservation planning, implication and restoration for the endangered Vulture population of Bangladesh as well as all other SAVE member countries. Creating public awareness and facilitating policy level intervention, POJF has contributed in the banning of Diclofenac and Ketoprophane; lethal veterinary drugs for the sustenance of the vulture species, to conserve the endangered and rapidly declining Vultures. As such, creating public awareness on their essential role in the nature’s cycle, POJF continues to help conserve the vultures, especially at the Vulture Safe Zones (VSZ) of Rajshahi and Khulna in Bangladesh.
