WHITE-BACKED VULTURE
'Critically Endangered' - I.U.C.N.
The White-backed Vulture, Long-billed Vulture and Slender-billed Vulture have been decimated throughout south-east Asia over the past 20 years due to the widespread use of the anti-inflammatory cattle drug Diclofenac. The drug causes kidney failure in birds that eat the carcasses of recently treated cattle.
