Saving Species on BBC Radio 4 explores biodiversity, conservation and natural history, both in the UK and across the globe. We broadcast some feedback from some of you using ispot in this programme.... Ispot is the Open University website where you can tap into the communal expertise of fellow users and identify wildlife you don't know the name of. We have part two of our Long-Billed and White-Backed vulture story from India. Gillian Rice discovers these species have together declined by 99.9% in India. 40+ million to a few thousand in 15 years. In part two we discover how the RSPB and the Bombay Natural History Society are planning to rescue the populations and what the implications are on human health in an India with vultures on the brink of extinction. And we'll be back in northern Scotland with Bob Swann and his Fulmars, Guillemots and Kittiwakes.
