“…The Middle East also holds resident and migratory Egyptian Vulture populations, including high concentrations on the islands of Socotra, Yemen and Masirah, Oman (Angelov et al 2020). Stakeholder and community engagement at these sites is therefore of extreme importance.…”

This proceedings contains 65 extended abstracts of presentations from speakers representing 26 countries made at the Global Egyptian Vulture Online Conference, held from 8-9 November 2022. The proceedings is divided into eleven sections: Status in Europe; Status in Africa; Status in Asia; Status in the Middle East; Threats and Mitigation; Threats – Focus on Poisoning; Engagement with Communities and Communication Campaigns; Monitoring and Research; Innovative Techniques in Egyptian Vulture Conservation; and Round Tables. The individual abstracts cover a broad range of topics about Egyptian Vulture biology, ecology and management, including theory and survey techniques, population monitoring and modelling, case studies, different conservation concepts, and approaches in working with stakeholders. This proceedings provide scientists, conservationists and decision makers with state-of-the-art information on vulture research, conservation and awareness.

“…Habitats that are in or nearby built areas and nearby waterbody are more preferred by the WRVs [29,53]. This may be because these areas can provide good opportunities for food sources in the form of cattle stock [9,33,54] and dumpsites [55][56][57]. Our model response curve of LULC shows that the built area, shrubs, and bare area are the three most influencing variables which determine the WRV distribution in the state (Fig.…”

Few reports showed that White-rumped vulture is present in Arunachal Pradesh. However, they were reported from a few places only. Such sightings suggest that either the region is not explored completely or the habitats are not suitable for the species. Therefore, knowing and predicting the habitat suitability of WRV and revealing the relative contribution of environmental variables determining such distribution can be important for their protection and conservation. The present study was based on the current distribution of WRV in Arunachal Pradesh that we had surveyed from 2016 to 2020. We followed the road count and point count methods to obtain primary occurrence data. Also, secondary data on occurrence records and data on environmental variables (landscape variables, anthropogenic variables, and climatic variables) were obtained and used. The data were processed using ArcMap. 29 occurrence records (filtered) and 11 environmental variables were used to build the prediction model using maximum entropy (MaxEnt). The MaxEnt predicted model showed high accuracy with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve value equals to 0.95 and True Skill Statistics value equals to 0.87. Of the total area, only 2629.63 km2 (3.20 %) is suitable for WRV while the majority of the area is unsuitable (79542.84 km2) (96.79 %). The elevation (32.2%), land use land cover (31.7%), and normalized difference vegetation index of November (26.7%) were the most influencing variables impacting the distribution of WRV. Among bioclimatic variables, the mean temperature of the warmest quarter and precipitation of the wettest quarter had the highest contribution. This work is the first attempt to understand the spatial distribution of WRV and the environmental factors associated with their distribution in the state. The findings can be relevant for designing conservation efforts to conserve this species in the state.
