In 2003, scientists discovered that veterinary Diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to treat livestock, was the leading cause behind the devastating 99% collapse of three South Asian Gyps vulture species. It was urgent to find a safe alternative. But, ever since, scientists only identified one – Meloxicam. Excitingly, a study has recently discovered another veterinary NSAID that is safe for vultures – Tolfenamic acid!
