"In 2003, researchers figured out the culprit behind a massive die-off of Asian vultures first noticed in the late 1990s: the veterinary drug diclofenac—an antinflamatory painkiller given to cattle. Vultures ingested the drug by eating the carcasses of treated cattle, then died of kidney failure. The scope of the problem is huge. Populations of Asian vulture species are down more than 96% since the early 1990s."
Interesting story on what happened when vulture numbers went down.
