Title: Vanishing Vultures
Post by: Eaglette on August 13, 2014, 01:02:17 PM
Please view this video documentary concerning the massive deaths of vultures due to pharmaceuticals injected into livestock

http://youtu.be/5DO6kkOmZCQ (http://youtu.be/5DO6kkOmZCQ)

"The Indian sub-continent had the highest density of vultures in the world - 85 million in total. However, over the past few years 99% have disappeared - mostly due to the use of the veterinary drug Diclofenac.

The loss of such an important scavenger has had devastating effects - putrefying decomposing carcasses are thought to be the cause of anthrax and rabies outbreaks. The extinction of this species would have global health consequences.

The films were premiered at the British Council in 2006, and have since been broadcast in 15 different languages on the national network - along with special screenings for the Prime Minister and other key politicians.

There has been an immediate reaction from the public and national press. The films also appeal to farmers - many, previously unaware of the problem, have now switched to a safer alternative to the drug.

Manufacture and sale of the drug Diclofenac has been banned with immediate effect nationwide - to give the remaining 1% of vultures a fighting chance for survival."

I really want anyone interested to know about this...   :)

This might be too far for most of us, but it sure would be awesome to witness. 

There are specific driving instructions to the release viewing spot in this article, for anyone near who wants to be there.  


I'm sharing this from T40's post in the Forum's "Birds in the News" thread...  Thanks, T40 :)  Wish I lived within driving distance to be able to see this!


Annual release of California condors into the wild set for September 26, 2015 in Arizona. That would really be something to witness.

The thrill of a lifetime, baz.  Thanks for posting that.  To think that I once lived within easy driving distance of Big Sur and could also witness the Ventana releases if I still lived there gives me pause for thought.  The same is true for the San Diego condor reintroduction project. Too late now!

OEW, maybe you will get to see a condor release again sometime in the future.  That article said that this Arizona release also includes chicks chosen from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park program.  Interesting article chock full of great info.

T40~~~Splendid pictures and information you have provided here!!! ;D ;D ;D Again thank you so very much with your dedicated participation regarding Vultures!!!

Is the poisoning intentionally directed toward the Vultures in those areas? IF yes what do they feel they have to gain by killing a bird that keeps their landscapes clean and also free of animal diseases? >:( >:( >:(


Pat-I've read a few different theories/motives. 1) Vultures are collateral damage when lions/predators are the target and have been poisoned to protect cattle. 2) Vultures are collateral damage when elephants are poisoned to obtain ivory. 3) Vultures are collateral damage when feeding on drugged (diclofenac) carrion. 4) Vultures are otherwise taken by indigenous people for cultural/ritual purposes. 5) Vultures are deliberately baited with poisoned carrion by poachers to keep the vultures out of the sky, which would give away the poachers' location.

Copy of e-mail received today from VWS.  Join me in this important effort.

Join Ventana Wildlife Society (VWS) in supporting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the National Park Service (NPS) and the Yurok tribe to reintroduce condors to the Pacific Northwest. To make this a reality the authors are drafting a plan to reintroduce the continent's largest land bird to the Redwood National Park and they would like to include your comments.
     For the last decade the Yurok tribe has spearheaded efforts and Ventana Wildlife Society has supported the idea to reintroduce condors in the Pacific Northwest, a region that North America's largest bird has not occupied in more than a century. Reintroducing a new population of condors into the biologically diverse ecosystem in Redwood National Park and the surrounding area has a very real potential to aid in the species' long-term recovery.
    VWS is participating in this effort as a project collaborator with USFWS, NPS, and the Yurok tribe. Given our 20 years of experience, VWS is working to consult with agency collaborators to help guide the development of this important project. Condors are now free-flying in California, Arizona, and Baja California, Mexico and this project would expand the range of the species into the Pacific Northwest, which is part of their historic range. The Pacific Northwest is in many ways an ideal location for a condor recovery effort because suitable habitat still exists where a flock of condors could still thrive in today?s world.
     Please consider submitting a written comment in support of the proposed reintroduction program which includes establishing a release facility and monitoring program to reestablish a breeding population of California Condors within the Bald Hills region of Redwood National Park. Please join VWS in offering your support via the project website by February 28, 2017.
Sincerely,
Kelly Sorenson

For the first time, there has been an observation of a Cinereous Vulture in Mauritania. From SEO BirdLife:

First observation of a black vulture in Mauritania! We banded him, as a chick, at the colony in the Valle del Lozoya, Rascafr?a, Madrid, on July 13, 2017.

This colony, whose numbers have grown from 60 pairs in 2007 to 120 pairs currently, is the place where one of the chicks, Niebla, grew up on webcam in 2017. 64 chicks were born in the colony last year.

(https://picload.org/image/ddcirool/buitre-at-banding-4a.jpg)

The young Cinereous Vulture was seen in the company of a Griffon Vulture and a Brown-necked Raven.

(https://picload.org/image/ddcirooi/buitre-mauritania-jan-19-1a.jpg)

First record for Mauritania:

In December 2017, the Dutch birding group Banc d?Arguin recorded a first-winter Cinereous Vulture at Iouik (Iwik) which is located in the Banc d?Arguin National Park, north-western Mauritania. The bird was wearing a yellow colour ring, so most likely from Spain. The bird was photographed with two other scavengers, a Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) and a Brown-necked Raven (Corvus ruficollis). This is the first known record for this Palearctic vulture for Mauritania.

Major threats to vulture populations. Four quantitative factors constituted a serious threat to African vulture populations in 26 countries (n = 7,819 recorded deaths; Table S5). "Poisoning" includes dead vultures that were victims of intentional or unintentional poisoning. "Trade in traditional medicine" indicates the number of vultures found dead without their heads, or the number of vultures or their parts counted on sale in markets. "Killing for food" indicates the number of dead vultures or their parts counted either when traders were observed at markets or after they were arrested. "Electrical infrastructure" is the number of vultures found electrocuted below power lines or other electrical infrastructure.
