WWF-India organised an exhibition titled ‘Wings of Wonder’, focused on birds of prey, or raptors, which are apex predators often seen alongside scavenger species. The exhibition first launched in November 2022 at WWF-India's Delhi Secretariat and was subsequently displayed at their field offices in Bhopal, Goa, and Harike (Punjab). It also featured prominently at the Jaipur and Udaipur Bird Festivals, as well as in locations like the Monsoon Palace and Biological Park in Udaipur and Van Vihar National Park in Bhopal. WWF-India innovatively introduced a virtual experience using VR technology, which was showcased at the Goa Bird Festival 2023. About the exhibition The exhibition showcases India’s 107 recorded raptor species, underscoring their importance as top-tier ecological indicators. Raptors—including eagles, falcons, hawks, vultures, buzzards, and owls—play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance by preying on carrion. However, they face significant threats from poisoning, pesticide use, habitat loss, and climate change, highlighting their status as vital indicators of environmental health. ‘Wings of Wonder’ aims to raise awareness among the public, students, bird enthusiasts, and children. It features stunning photographs and information on raptor behaviours, diets, migration, and habitats, along with conservation success stories of the Amur falcon, forest owlet, and various vultures in India. To date, the exhibition has engaged over 15,000 individuals, fostering a deeper appreciation for these birds of prey. It is set for expansion in Uttarakhand, Assam, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. About raptors Birds of prey, commonly known as raptors, are apex predators often accompanied by scavenger species. As top predators, they help regulate populations of smaller animals, control pests, and remove carrion, reducing the spread of diseases. Raptors also serve as vital indicators of environmental health, with their declining numbers often pointing to broader ecological problems such as habitat loss, pollution, and biodiversity threats. Increasing awareness about raptors can drive stronger conservation efforts, habitat protection, and policies that ensure their survival, ultimately safeguarding overall ecosystem stability.
