Points to remember:
- Growing pressure from cattle grazing & expanding farming activity has is the most significant causes for falling the number of Indian bustards in India
- Rajasthan has the largest known population of the great Indian bustards.
- Fodder supply scheme can spare the grass land which can help to increase the number of great indian bustards.
- Plantation of exotic tree on open land will not be helpful to increase the Indian bustards as it is not the ideal habitat for them.
- In Nannaj sanctury of Maharashtra there are few areas where Tress have been removed and Indian bustards are getting reappeared.
- New law on Land acquisition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Right_to_Fair_Compensation_and_Transparency_in_Land_Acquisition,_Rehabilitation_and_Resettlement_Act,_2013) may work against grassland birds , since cultivated lands are eligible for higher compensation, and farmers may remove grasses.
