Vulture restaurant

A vulture restaurant is a site where carrion is deposited for endangered vultures to feed on.

The survival of vultures in some areas is threatened by a variety of circumstances, including loss of habitat and diminishing food sources. In Nepal, vulture deaths have been caused by the ingestion of diclofenac, an anti-inflammatory medication used to treat cattle on whose carcasses the vultures feed.

Vulture restaurants operate in a number of countries, including Nepal, India, Cambodia, South Africa, Swaziland, and Spain.
