尼泊爾博卡拉機場將於明年啟用,但附近有一個堆填區吸引多種瀕危禿鷲如細嘴兀鷲及白背兀鷲來到覓食。保育人士擔心出現禿鷲與飛機相撞的意外,但已沒有足夠時間搬遷堆填區或重新安置這些鳥類。
Pokhara airport in Nepal is opening next year, but there is a landfill site nearby that attracted several endangered vulture species like slender-billed vulture and white-rumped vulture to feed. Conservationists are concerning about the high risk of aircraft-bird collisions but there is not enough time to move the landfill site or to relocate these birds.
