Indicate and briefly describe any actions that have been carried out to implement this Resolution: 
Acci�nDescripciónStatus
Convocar a partes interesadas/creaci�n de redesAnnual SAVE meeting pulled 21 partners including Govts together, and reviewed the Blueprint recovery plan. Govts regional steering committee also met. And a South India meeting was held in Jan 2018.On-going
Educaci�n/Comunicaci�n/Concientizaci�nA huge body of work being carried out mainly in South Asia by SAVE partners, BNHS, Arulagam, Corbett Foundation is underway.On-going
Actividades de campoThrough SAVE network in South Asia, a range of NSAID monitoring activities as well as awareness work, and safety-testing on vultures.On-going
Influencia pol�tica/promoci�n de pol�ticasKey success in 2017 was the upholding of the Indian Govt Multi-dose vials of human diclofenac ban, which was challenged in the court. Arulagam, BNHS and SAVE (RSPB) had important roles in this successful defencce, along with Indian Health Ministryt and ministry of Environment. There are furher measures needed for the other NSAIDs. In Europe, there was a concerted campaign involving BlirdLife, Vulture Conservation Foundation and SEO Birdlife (Spain) to drive a diclofenac ban in EU states, especially Spain. In addition, there has been a lote of effort to define an international action plan incorporating the central theme of the resolution - this is the CMS Raptors MoU 'Multi-species action plan for old workd vultures. This was finalized in 2017 and adopted at CMS CoP in Manila October 2017.On-going
Actividades t�cnicas/cient�ficasSafety testing on Himalayan Griffons started Nov 2017, and is a key action. This is happening through SAVE, BNHS, IVRI. Completing this for up to ten drugs (one has begun only so a lot to do!) is crucial.On-going
Indique cuáles han sido los resultados/logros obtenidos en el marco de las actividades realizadas: 
Key actions were the successful upholding of the India multi-dose larger vials of human diclofenac in the face of a court challenge brought by two prominent pharmaceutical companies. Also in South Asia, the Bangladesh Government banned ketoprofen and aceclofenac in 25% of the country where most vultures occur. Probably the major progress however was the initiation of safety-testing of NSAIDs on Gyps himalayensis in India, through a government institution with SAVE and BNHS involvement and direction. In Europe, there was significant activity and engagemement of BirdLife International partnership, and Vulture Conservation Foundation, as well as specifically by SEO Birdlife in Spain. The prospect of reversing the veterinary licensing of diclofenac in Spain at least is now looking more likely.
¿Qué esfuerzos se están llevando a cabo para superar dichos obstáculos?: 
The courtcase in Madras High Court (see above) has been a big concern in India (now successfully diffused thankfully).
