Greater Adjutant

Greater Adjutants roosting at dawn in the Deepor Beel Wetlands. As human populations have expanded over the last century, the adjutant’s ability to find food, survive, and reproduce has been steadily and severely impacted over their historic range. Wetlands critical for feeding have been widely converted to agriculture, over-fished, degraded, and polluted. Guwahati, Assam, India.
