Can death of Vulture lead to decline of human existence!

lead to decline of human existence!

A recent study estimate nearly 500,000 premature human deaths from 2000 to 2005 due to the decline in Indian vulture populations.

Vultures are essential for maintaining public health and ecological balance.

The financial impact of the vulture decline is approximately $70 billion per year.

The use of diclofenac, a veterinary drug toxic to vultures, caused a 99.9% decline in their population.

Indian vultures have a wingspan of 1.96 to 2.38 meters and are primarily found in South Asia.
