Roots & Shoots Nepal
Vulture species have shown the greatest decline rate of any bird species in southern Asia with a loss of 98% of the population in 12 years. The dramatic decline in population has been a result of the illegal trade and use of Diclofenac, an anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug that is commonly administered to local livestock. Roots and Shoots are implementing a conservation awareness campaign into the Basa Basai district of Nepal to engage 5 village development committees, educating the members on the impact Diclofenac is having on the local Vulture population and the greater ecosystem, as well as providing alternatives to Diclofenac.
