Vultures have all but been wiped out in India - a crisis that has prompted the government and other neighbouring countries to devise measures to bring back the nature's scavenger from the brink of extinction.
In the next two days, the ministry of environment and forests will hold talks with counterparts from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal to decide on a plan for the subcontinent. The ministry also plans a national census to find the exact number of birds in India. Three species of the bird are found exclusively in the sub-continent -- Slender-billed, long-billed and white-billed. Over 90 per cent of the birds have died in the last decade. One of the major reasons for the deaths of thousands of vultures is Diclofenac, the anti-imflammatory drug. The ministry is lobbying for a ban on the drug. "The drug is widely used by vets as pain-killing injections. Studies have found that the drug causes renal failure or visceral gout. We have asked concerned ministries to ban the drug but they point out it will take some time," said a senior ministry official. Three states have already banned the drug.
