World's first vulture conservation breeding centre named Jatayu Conservation Breeding Centre (JCBC), Pinjore in Panchkula district of Haryana, India, is all set to release vultures bred in captivity in 2016. This is the outcome of hard work of about one and half decade of Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) and Haryana Forest Department. Many mysteries of the life of the vultures which were secrets till now, have been revealed in JCBC, as vultures had never been studied in captivity before. However, there are a number of issues that need public support for saving vultures from extinction. The main issue is the superstition that the vultures are opportunists, blood thirsty and wait for somebody to die. Other issues include: creating mass awareness about role of vultures inmaintaining cleaniness, imposing self social ban on using diclofenac as non steroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAID) for veterinary use, giving second thought to use of aceclofenac as veterinary and human drug, protecting vultures from painkiller drugs like nimesulides, ketoprofen and ibubrofen, use of meloxicam as safe pain killer drug for veterinary purpose, ensuring safe vulture zones, habitat improvement and focusing vulture conservation breeding of all species of vultures ratherthan on Gyps species only.Keywords

Eucalyptus clone No. 413 which is being planted in a big way all over north India has been found attacked by a bark split and canker disease in farmers' fields. The disease has been studied in detail and is found to be caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea. The damage was assessed and suitable control measure was developed.Keywords

'Monkey Management' is the most challenging issue, the forest and wildlife managers of India are facing today. On one hand monkeys have cultural, scientific and economic significance, on the other hand they have become a big nuisance as on today. The monkeys are leaving forests and are constantly migrating to urban, semi urban and rural areas. because of their shrinking habitat, and availability of delicious and easy food in urban areas. Human-monkey conflict has today attained a serious proportion. The human-monkey conflict management includes use of bioacoustics that produce distress noise and to scare away the monkeys, Immunocontraceptive vaccines, sterilization to control their population growth and protecting agriculture crops and orchards with live/appropriate fencing etc. The future management strategies could include oral contraceptives which can be fed with food, though their effectiveness is limited to only zoos. Himachal Pradesh (HP), which is the most affected due to Rhesus macaque, has resorted to sterilizing Rhesus. Himachal Pradesh Forest Department (HPFD) is well convinced with the success of monkey sterilization programme and is set to sterilize most of Rhesus population of the state. However, a change in the behaviour of sterilized monkeys has been observed and therefore, HPFD has been constantly proposing establishing 'Vanar Vatikas' (monkey shelter homes) with proper facilities for drinking water, shade, resting, feeding and ranging. An account of non human primate species found in India, human-monkey conflict mainly due to Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) and status of its management in India with special reference to its sterilization programme in Himachal Pradesh has been discussed in the paper.Keywords
