2011-05-13 Great News - Saving Indian Vultures from Killer Drug.
The ban on a veterinary drug, diclofenac, which caused an unprecedented decline in
Asian vulture populations has shown the first signs of progress,
according to scientists. However, the recovery of the wild vulture
populations requires efforts to see the drug completely removed from the
birds’ food supply.
Although the legal action has started to show encouraging results, much
remains to be done, because diclofenac manufactured for human use is
still being used illegally to treat cattle in India. |
