WWF-India organised an exhibition titled ‘Wings of Wonder’, focused on birds of prey, or raptors, which are apex predators often seen alongside scavenger species. The exhibition first launched in November 2022 at WWF-India's Delhi Secretariat and was subsequently displayed at their field offices in Bhopal, Goa, and Harike (Punjab). It also featured prominently at the Jaipur and Udaipur Bird Festivals, as well as in locations like the Monsoon Palace and Biological Park in Udaipur and Van Vihar National Park in Bhopal. WWF-India innovatively introduced a virtual experience using VR technology, which was showcased at the Goa Bird Festival 2023.
