About this document
White-rumped Vulture: Status & Ecology by josh321 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The white-rumped vulture is a critically endangered Old World vulture native to South and Southeast Asia. It was once abundant with populations in the millions, but its numbers have declined by over 99% since the 1990s due to poisoning from the drug diclofenac in livestock carcasses. It is now estimated to have a global population of less than 6,000 mature individuals. The vulture plays an important ecological role as a scavenger but its future is uncertain due to ongoing threats.
