How a ₹2 Painkiller Killed India's 40 Million Vultures

In today's episode of Gaurav Thakur we welcome Shri Bhupender Yadav, Union Cabinet Minister for Environment, Forest & Climate Change. We talk about how the collapse of vultures can directly impact human health, the drug that nearly wiped them out, and the challenges of bringing these birds back into the wild. The conversation also explores Ramsar sites, wetland conservation, migratory bird flyways, and the bird that once competed with the peacock to become India’s national bird. We also discuss why air pollution remains such a serious problem, how climate change could affect India, and what can be done about growing pressure on wetlands.
