Declines in India may be due to use of the drug diclofenac on livestock, the vulture’s main food source. Diclofenac is lethal to other species of vultures, and efforts to replace the drug with a vulture-safe alternative are underway. Diclofenac is not used in Southeast Asia, and the species’ decline there is thought to be primarily a result of reduced food availability, as wild ungulate populations have disappeared, and changing agricultural practices have reduced the availability of cattle carcasses.

Captive breeding program initiated in 1983. All birds removed from wild for captive breeding in 1987. Reintroduction began in 1992. Although now breeding in the wild, condors remain threatened by lead poisoning, primarily from lead shot used in sport hunting.
