Houbara Bustard (Chlamydotis undulata) Science Article 4

abstract

Houbara Bustard Chlamydotis undulata macqueenii is reportedly declining rapidly in all the range states and its population believed to be much less now than some 10-12 years ago (Goriup, 1997). Rough estimates of the declining rates from causal observations in different parts of Balochistan indicate a declining rate around 10% per annum (Mian 1984)and an equivalent decline has been suggested for Sind (Surahio 1985) and Iran (pers. obs.).
