Vultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction.The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day.
The aim is to raise awareness and disseminate knowledge on vultures and conservation among the general public and stakeholders.
It is high time to work together to save the nature cleaners from extinction as the use of Diclofenac and Ketoprofen, both poisonous to vultures, in animals has led to the massive mortality and a sharp decline in the vulture population
The government banned Diclofenac and Ketoprofen and Bangladesh Forest Department in December 2014 declared two safe zones for vultures where ‘zero tolerance’ is shown towards using Diclofenac and other harmful veterinary drugs.
