The correct answer is (a).
SAVE stands for Saving Asia’s Vultures from Extinction. The association was launched in 2008 by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Peregrine Fund. The objective of SAVE is to conserve vultures in Asia, which are facing a number of threats, including habitat loss, poisoning, and the use of diclofenac, a drug that is toxic to vultures.
Vultures are an important part of the ecosystem, as they help to clean up carcasses and prevent the spread of disease. However, their populations have declined significantly in recent years. In India, for example, the population of white-rumped vultures has declined by more than 99% since the 1990s.
SAVE is working to conserve vultures through a number of initiatives, including research, education, and advocacy. The association is also working to develop alternative methods for disposing of carcasses, which would reduce the need for diclofenac.
The other options are incorrect because they are not the focus of SAVE’s conservation efforts. Tigers, parrots, and elephants are all important species, but they are not facing the same level of threat as vultures.
