Vulture conservation efforts yielding results

The decline in the population of vultures could be slowing down, according to experts, who believe that the ban on use of diclofenac has had a positive effect in vulture habitats in different parts of the country, including Assam.

On the action taken by authorities in India, the Director of Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS), Dr Asad Rahmani said, “The timely ban on veterinary diclofenac in South Asia, along with the research and conservation efforts of BNHS and the SAVE partners, based on scientific facts has proved to be a successful step in the right direction”.
