Egyptian vultures (Neophron percnopterus) play an important ecological role in central Asia, but conservation planning is hindered because basic information about their habitat requirements is lacking. We used 66 observations of roosting vultures to identify factors related to their presence, and MaxEnt model to predict areas of suitable roosting sites in the mid-hills of Nepal (similar to 20% of the district appeared suitable based on roosting observations). Vultures preferred riverbanks and areas near human settlements and pathways, probably because of access to animal carcasses. This relationship to local people and livestock should be considered when producing conservation plans for this species. (c) 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
