<ul>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The untamed, arid grasslands that bustards thrive in are categorised as ‘wastelands’, like most grassland habitats in India. The push to make these areas more ‘productive’ has seen an increase in water availability in these parts, resulting in the spreading of agricultural land into bustard habitats.</span></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Researchers found that though they are predominantly insect-eaters. Bustardsfeed on arugula plants and eat cultivated Bengal gram and Ziziphus or ber berries.The decline in the production of these crops have affected their food habits.</span></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">These wide-ranging birds disperse to agricultural landscapes near Gujarat’s Kachchh during the non-breeding season. Intensification of agriculture, including more pesticides, barbed-wire fences and new crops could endanger the birds’ survival in this landscape.</span></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Remains of their grassland homes are now sites for renewable power projects. With new wind turbines, more power lines are constructed to take the ‘green’ energy to grids and homes. These wires are dangerous for these birds.</span></span></p>

</ul>
<p style="margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong>Protection Measures</strong></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">A landscape-level approach can incentivise people to take up less intensive agriculture.</span></span></p>
</li>
<li>

<p style="margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Several threats are decimating bustard populations. India, effectively the only home of the bustards, now harbours less than 150 individuals in five States</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-right:0in"> </p>
<p style="margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The Great Indian bustard is one of the important flagship species of Indian grasslands ecosystem and their sustainance is very important for maintaining balance.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong>Reasons for their decline</strong></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The untamed, arid grasslands that bustards thrive in are categorised as ‘wastelands’, like most grassland habitats in India. The push to make these areas more ‘productive’ has seen an increase in water availability in these parts, resulting in the spreading of agricultural land into bustard habitats.</span></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Researchers found that though they are predominantly insect-eaters. Bustardsfeed on arugula plants and eat cultivated Bengal gram and Ziziphus or ber berries.The decline in the production of these crops have affected their food habits.</span></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">These wide-ranging birds disperse to agricultural landscapes near Gujarat’s Kachchh during the non-breeding season. Intensification of agriculture, including more pesticides, barbed-wire fences and new crops could endanger the birds’ survival in this landscape.</span></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Remains of their grassland homes are now sites for renewable power projects. With new wind turbines, more power lines are constructed to take the ‘green’ energy to grids and homes. These wires are dangerous for these birds.</span></span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-right:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><strong>Protection Measures</strong></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">A landscape-level approach can incentivise people to take up less intensive agriculture.</span></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Bustard conservation breeding centre in states like Rajasthan will help in conserving their population and keep them away from extinction.</span></span></p>
