In a significant conservation achievement, three chicks of the critically endangered Great Indian Bustard have been successfully hatched at breeding centres in Jaisalmer district, Rajasthan, India, using artificial insemination technology. This brings the total number of captive birds to 76, with 52 at the Ramdevra Godawan Breeding Centre and 24 at the Sudashri Godawan Breeding Centre. Brijmohan Gupta, Divisional Forest Officer at the Desert National Park, emphasized the effectiveness of artificial insemination in enabling breeding under challenging conditions. The Great Indian Bustard, once abundant across Rajasthan, Gujarat, and parts of Pakistan, faces severe threats from habitat degradation, poaching, and collisions with power lines. The forest department's captive breeding strategy aims to counter these threats. The newly hatched chicks will be monitored closely to ensure their health and prepare them for release into the wild. This collaborative conservation program involves both state and central governments, highlighting a renewed hope for the species' revival.
