The vulture was GPS-tagged and released in Tadoba-Andhari in July as part of the Jatayu conservation initiative.

The Maharashtra forest department and Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) have GPS tagged 20 vultures (10 long-billed & 10 white-rumped), all brought from the Vulture Conservation Breeding Centre in Pinjore, Haryana.

While the long-billed vultures were released in the Pench tiger reserve, the white-rumped ones were released in Tadoba.
