However, vulture populations are declining globally due to different threats. In fact, in the late 1990’s, their populations declined dramatically (99%) in the Indian Subcontinent due to intoxication with diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) used in cattle. Diclofenac was banned in many of the Asian countries involved, but it is now approved for veterinary use in large animals in the European Union. Considering that the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) has over 95% of Europe’s vulture population, what is the risk of diclofenac (and other veterinary drugs) to vultures in the Iberian Peninsula? *Join us for MRVAC's second field trip of the year: Miesville Ravine *on Sunday, June 6th at 7:30am.
