Pharmaceutical May Cause Extinction of Three Species--Major
Threat to Wildlife Discovered
|
|
|
A major discovery documenting a pharmaceutical as threatening
the extinction of three species will be published in the
journal Nature. The paper links the veterinary
use of “diclofenac” with the catastrophic crash of three
species of raptors. The discovery is the result of a
three-year effort by an international team of scientists. The
team was assembled and led by The Peregrine Fund and included
members from Washington State University, The Ornithological
Society of Pakistan, and Bird Conservation Nepal.

More California
Condors Transferred to Vermilion Cliffs in Arizona |
|
Arizona’s population of California Condors increased
on December 19 when ten condors were
transported to the release site in the Bureau of Land
Management’s Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.
All of the young condors
hatched this year at The Peregrine
Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey and
will be released to the wild during 2004.
