Asian vultures declined abruptly to near-extinction due to vet diclofenac, while African vultures have been undergoing massive declines due to widespread poisoning \u2013 Europe, not known for being a vulture region, is now probably the best continent in the world where to see hundreds of vultures gathering at fallen carcasses in the wider countryside.<\/p>\n<p> Vultures play a very important role in the world\u00b4s ecosystem \u2013 they are nature\u2019s clean-up crew. They don\u2019t kill, they eat the flesh of other dead animals, thus helping to reduce the spread of disease and eliminating the need for the treatment and incineration of thousands of tons of animal remains every year, saving us millions of euros in waste management and potential emissions of hundreds of thousands of tons of C02 per year.<\/p>\n<p> Unfortunately, they face a range of threats and so populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction \u2013 the VCF is working hard in Europe to minimize those threats and actively work on the ground with several populations to increase them.<\/p>\n<p> More globally, the VCF and its partners have developed a Vulture Multi-Species Action Plan (MsAP), prepared in the framework of the Convention for the Migratory Species, that list the priority actions that need to be taken in order to improve the conservation status of 15 species of old world vultures. The Vulture MsAP will hopefully be approved by all signatory states in the next Conference of the Parties this fall, and will then be a significant tool to address these massive poisoning incidents and therefore revert the decline of several vulture species.<\/p>\n<p> It is important to promote the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world\u2019s vulture conservationists, and today\u00b4s International Vulture Awareness Day is a great opportunity for that.
