Beleagured bustards

Points to remember:



  1. Growing pressure from cattle grazing & expanding farming activity  has is the most significant causes for falling the number of Indian bustards in India
  2. Rajasthan has the largest known population of the great Indian bustards.
  3. Fodder supply scheme can spare the grass land which can help to increase the number of great indian bustards.
  4. 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.
  5. In Nannaj sanctury  of Maharashtra   there are few areas where Tress have been removed and Indian bustards are getting reappeared.
  6. New law on  Land acquisition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Right_to_Fair_Compensation_and_Transparency_in_Land_Acquisition,_Rehabilitation_and_Resettlement_Act,_2013may work  against grassland birds , since cultivated lands are eligible for higher compensation, and farmers may remove grasses.
