Conservation biology: Fatal medicine for vultures
Robert Risebrough1
Abstract
In an echo of events that unfolded earlier in the West, declines of vulture populations in the Indian subcontinent are linked to an environmental poison. Three species of these birds approach extinction.
An unusually high death rate among three species of vulture in south Asia has been perplexing scientists for several years. The consequences have been severe, not just for the vultures themselves but also for their supporting natural and human ecosystems.
