Transhumance, Vultures & Veterinarian Diclofenac
Mobile pastoralism is a highly sustainable livestock management system that benefits both people and nature.

However, veterinary Diclofenac endangers vultures. Yolda Initiative, with partners, campaigns to raise awareness and protect both pastoralism and vultures.
