Now the Portuguese veterinary agency is considering to respond favourably to a demand for a legal permit to sell veterinary diclofenac in Portugal.<\/p>\n<p> One of the objectives in the CMS Vulture Multi-species Action Plan &#8211; drafted after 4 regional workshops that were attended by a staggering 250 vulture experts from the old world, is <b>\u201cto recognise and reduce the threat of mortality of vultures by NSAIDs and to minimize the occurrence of toxic NSAIDs in vulture range states\u201d,<\/b> and one of the consensual actions identified calls for banning veterinary diclofenac.<\/p>\n<p> The drug \u2013 responsible for the catastrophic 99% decline in Asian vultures \u2013 is now legally available in Italy and Spain, after the authorities of these countries ignored all scientific evidence. Veterinary diclofenac has now been banned in 4 countries in the Indian subcontinent.<\/p>\n<p> The VCF, together with a consortia of other conservation organisations, <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/our-work\/campaigning-to-ban-diclofenac-in-europe\/\" target=\"_top\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">have been asking for a EU wide ban<\/a> \u2013 more relevant after the EU\u00b4s own European Medicine Agency (EMA) recognised that indeed diclofenac poses a risk to Europe\u2019s vultures, and suggested additional measures to be taken (although stopping short of recommending a prohibition).<\/p>\n<p> Vultures are doing relatively well in Europe \u2013 3 of the 4 species are now increasing in our continent due to the significant investment of the EU and conservation organisations like the VCF, but crashing everywhere else. Europe is currently the reservoir of old world vultures, as well as the leader in vulture conservation best practice. We hope that diclofenac does not put that in jeopardy \u2013 therefore we call to the Portuguese authorities to consider the overwhelming scientific evidence, EMA\u00b4s own recommendations, its commitments under the CMS 11.15 resolution and deny the marketing permit in the country.<\/p>\n<p> Photo: VCF<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>35 vulture experts and conservation managers that have met in Toledo last week for the overarching workshop to consolidate the Vulture Multispecies Action Plan (Vulture MsAP) &#8211; a global plan for vulture conservation covering 15 species of wold world vultures in 124 range states covering almost all of Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hundreds of vulture experts ask for a global ban of veterinary diclofenac - while the government of Portugal is considering to approve it!
