Houbara bustards
The Houbara bustards number's decreased last few
years for several reasons as over-hunting. A program supported by UAE
government is ongoing to maintain the Houbara from extinction in Morocco. The
program schemes to conserve Houbara by offer breeding facilities and well cared
for chicks. The author explains this point thusly, "Even petting the newly hatched birds has a purpose. Birds that are destined to
be used for breeding are trained to be familiar with humans" (Todorova, V.
2011). After vaccinating females and hatching their eggs, Houbara will be released twice in the year into the wild. The program
has succeeded in increasing the number of Houbara and saving them from
extinction.
