Hi there,  I'm looking to contact someone from the Bombay Parsi Punchayet.

I'm a researcher with The Nature of Things, a popular TV show from Canada.

We are putting together a documentary about vultures and I'm interested in learning more about the Parsi tradition of using vultures to consume the dead.

I am under the impression that the practise is dying out due to a collapse in vulture populations in India. 

But according to a New York Times article, there was a plan in effect to create aviaries near
Towers of Silence in Mumbai to potentially revive the tradition:

That article was written in 2012 and I'm curious to know whether it has been successful. 

Do you know if the vulture tradition has been
revived in India, or have Parsis been forced to use other methods? If you're not sure, do you know someone I could reach out to who might be
able to answer my question?

Thank you, any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
