Diclofenac, an anti-inflammatory drug widely administered to cattle, was identified in the early 2000s as the main driver behind catastrophic vulture population collapses across South Asia, with some species declining by over 95%. India banned veterinary diclofenac in 2006, but related drugs with similar effects on birds remain in use, and enforcement is inconsistent. For a vulture, there is no way to tell a safe carcass from a contaminated one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The work continues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Asu is one of the many vultures whose story has been cut short by toxic food along the migration route. However, her contribution to conservation work goes on. The data she generated, her routes, her timing, and the wintering grounds she used remain part of the scientific record and continue to inform the project going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/central-asian-cinereous-vulture-movements-map-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41808\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.7070267795834287;width:481px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/central-asian-cinereous-vulture-movements-map-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/central-asian-cinereous-vulture-movements-map-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/central-asian-cinereous-vulture-movements-map-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/central-asian-cinereous-vulture-movements-map-1087x1536.jpg 1087w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/central-asian-cinereous-vulture-movements-map-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/central-asian-cinereous-vulture-movements-map.jpg 1132w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Including Asu, nine birds have been tagged across Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan under this project.
