Most wildlife conservation campaigns feature the same artists of characters: royal tigers, adorable pandas or other creatures that hang human heartstrance.
Images of the blood-shattered bills of endangered vultures create less sympathy, but a new study provides a reason for their survival. In the mid-1990s, the closest to Indian vultures proved fatal to humans, leading to an increase of 4% in the districts inhabited by birds by 4%.
Vultures act as the cleanliness service of nature. In India, his diet was included in large-scale livestock bodies to rot-30 meters a year in a year in the country-eminent country. A group of vultures can close the cow’s carian in 40 minutes. Their strongly acidic digestive systems destroy most germs.
Historically, vultures in India were widespread. But in the 1990s and early 2000s, their number increased from about 40 meters to 90%. The reason for this was diclofenac, an anti -inflammatory drug that farmers began to use to treat their cattle. Although this drug was harmless to both cows and humans, birds consumed animals treated with Diclofenac who were suffering from kidney failure and died within a week.
Without vultures, bodies attracted wild dogs and mice. Not only do these animals carry rabies and other diseases that threaten humans, they are very less efficient to eliminate Carian. The rotting remains were left behind which were filled with pathogens who then spread to drinking water.
The sudden demise of vultures made it possible to determine their impact public health. A new working paper used by Eil Frank Frank of the University of Chicago and Anant Sudarshan of the University of Warvik used a statistical method, used a statistical method called “inter-intelligence”, which is suitable for vultures with less suitable places to compare the change in mortality in districts, such as diclofenac use.
In districts with vulture-suitable housing, more people started dying such as sales of Diclofenac increased. This effect was the largest in urban areas with large livestock population. The authors estimated that, between 2000 and 2005, the loss of vultures led to 500,000 additional human deaths.
The vulture, like the vulture, captures the ecosystem simultaneously. Protection of these animals should be a priority. They cannot be or may not be bitter, but they are important.
