Ahmedabad: Environmentalists are crying hoarse over extinction of vultures in the state. Experts say the population of the bird across India is 900. In Ahmedabad and nearby areas, it has been rapidly dwindling with less than 40 existing right now. The population stood at 200 just three to four years back.
