AMMAN The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) on Wednesday called on the ministries of agriculture and environment to ban diclofenac use on animals as it poses risks to Jordan’s biodiversity.
Expressing concern, the RSCN said that birds in the Kingdom may be at risk if they feed on carcasses of animals that have been treated with this medicine, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
Studies during the last two decades showed that vultures and other birds that were exposed to the medicine after eating carcasses of animals that had recently been treated with diclofenac died of kidney failure within a couple of days, said Tareq Qaneir, head of RSCN department of birds projects.

AMMAN This year’s Earth Day is celebrated with the theme “Restore Our Earth”, focusing on climate and environmental literacy, emerging green technologies and innovative thinking.
“Earth is our only home, therefore we all need to protect it,” the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature (RSCN) Director General Yahya Khaled told The Jordan Times on Thursday.
Without immediate and proper action from all, the threat of climate change and environmental disturbances will continue to loom over the humankind and planet earth, Khaled said.
