Nepal is a beautiful country, not only the presence of the famous highest peak Mount Everest, but it also includes some species of many vultures. Nepal is popular for large numbers of tourist mountaineering, but people make plan to spend holidays in Nepal and nature tours, bird watching, etc. Vulture is an animal that plays an important role by cultivating intense consumption of animal carcasses. It also plays an important cultural role in consuming the human body in the sky cemeteries of Nepal and Tibet. Of nine species of vultures, five species of vultures in Asia are in grave danger of extinction throughout the Indian subcontinent. Populations of white coccyx Gyps bengalensis, long-bed G. indicus and lean beakvultures G. tenuirostris declined in more than 99% in India and Pakistan and annual taxes of the decrease it seems to increase. Still two species of vultures, the red-headed vulture and the Egyptian vulture, have declined rapidly in recent years.Thanks to these descents, the five species are now on the iUCN threatened list: the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. With the exception of the Egyptian Vulture which appears as In danger, the other four are listed as In The Critical Danger, which is the category of greatest threat. In Nepal, white coccyx vultures declined by more than 91% until 2003 and 91% until 2011. 91% until 2003 and decreased to 91% until 2011. The cause of these decreases has been shown to be the veterinary drug Diclofenac, which is used to treat livestock extensively in Asia. Vultures are exposed to Diclofenac after feeding cattle corpses that contain residues of this drug. A post-mortem examination of dead or dying birds in India and Nepal showed a high incidence of Diclofenac and visceral drop residues (Shultz and to. 2004). The result of the modeled mathematician is consistent with the observed population reduction tax. Models indicate that only a small proportion (1 in 130) of corpses contaminated with lethal levels of Diclofenac can cause observed vulture mortality tax.To stop the slope of these birds in critical danger, the Government of Nepal a veterinarian banned the production, import and use of Diclofenac in June 2006 and approved the Vulture Conservation Action Plan for Nepal (2009-13) ) in 2009. A Vulture Conservation Action Plan for Nepal (2009-2013) is part of the Government of Nepal's largest effort to conserve and consolidate conservation initiatives for all vulture species in Nepal. The main objective of the Vulture Conservation Action Plan is to prevent the extinction of vulture species by ensuring the reintroduction, provision of safe food, maintenance of adequate habitat and a better understanding of the ecological importance of these birds in Nepal with the aim of reviving a viable population of vultures in the wild. . The Vulture Conservation and Small Centre were established in 2008 in collaboration with the Department of National Parks and The Conservation of Vida Silvestre (DNPWC), the National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC) and Bird Conservation Nepal (BCN).

Hello Bal
I could well learn about the situation of population decline of vultures in Nepal, and its cause. It's really sad that under the human influence, even strong predators are not safe from extinction. It is partially fortunate that the production of the chemical is prohibited, and some increase in population is expected. I hope the balance of the ecosystems around the world are maintained.
Thank you for the great report!

Hi Bal,
Vulture definitely plays an important role in our bio diversity. By writing about Vultures and how culturally they are significant in Nepal, you have enriched our knowledge about this species and its role in our eco system. Thanks for your informative report.

Hello Bal,
it's Lisa.
Vulture is definitely the type of animal that you would expect to see in Korea nowadays so I never really had an opportunity to think about them. Thank you for such an informative report.
I think it's tragic how the meat industries that are maliciously manipulated to meet the greedy demands of mankind are creating damages to these beautiful creatures... It's really sad. I hope that these preservation projects work out well so that we see more healthy vultures fly in our skies.
Great report and looking forward to your next one!
