Описание: The provided sources document the catastrophic population collapse of South Asian vultures, primarily driven by their exposure to the toxic veterinary drug diclofenac. This ecological crisis, which saw a nearly 99% decline in certain species, resulted in increased human mortality rates in India due to the accumulation of rotting carcasses and subsequent disease spread. While government bans on diclofenac were enacted across the subcontinent, illegal use and the emergence of other lethal non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like nimesulide continue to threaten recovery. Conservation efforts now focus on establishing Vulture Safe Zones, breeding programs like the Jatayu Conservation Breeding Centre, and advocating for stricter pharmaceutical regulations. Although Nepal has shown signs of vulture population recovery through successful public awareness, the group remains at high risk of extinction without mandatory safety testing for new drugs. The texts emphasize that vultures provide an irreplaceable ecosystem service by removing carrion and preventing the proliferation of pests like rats and stray dogs.
