The following report on the condition of the Indian Bustard was submitted to Minister for Environment, Rajasthan.
| The Bustards comprise a group which is the most threatened species of birds. Of these, the Indian Bustard is approaching a critical situation and is now on the brink of extinction with an estimated population possibly as low as 600-700. It has become locally extinct in almost 90 per cent of its former range and, ironically, it has disappeared from two sanctuaries created especially to protect the species. Previously, it was mainly poaching and habitat destruction that resulted in such a pitiful situation, but now mismanagement of the habitat, sentimental protection of certain problem animals and apathy are creating havoc. |
