At Nandanvan Jungle Safari, conservation goes beyond rescue and rehabilitation. In collaboration with the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), rescued vultures including the Himalayan Griffon and Egyptian Vulture were fitted with advanced telemetry (GSM-based) tracking devices before being released back into the wild. This initiative enables real-time monitoring and scientific data collection on their movement patterns, migration routes, and behavior in natural habitats.

The Himalayan Griffon Vulture, named “Jatayu,” rescued from Bilaspur, was tracked after its release on 11 April 2025 and recorded an extensive journey of over 1,165 km across Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Bihar, and into Tibet. Similarly, the rescued Egyptian Vulture, rehabilitated after being found near the Raipur–Bilaspur highway, has been consistently monitored in the Abhanpur region post-release.

By studying their roosting, feeding, and survival patterns through this data, experts gain valuable insights into ecological conditions and potential threats, helping strengthen long-term conservation strategies for these endangered scavengers.

The Safari has established a dedicated wild water buffalo conservation breeding centre on a 2.5-hectare site under a formal program approved by the Central Zoo Authority (CZA).

The project was implemented through a 60:40 grant support from the Government of India and the Government of Chhattisgarh, highlighting its national conservation importance.
