Houbara bustards
Houbara bustards live in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The Emirates Center for Wildlife Propagation plans to prevent those birds from extinction that is why it produced many of those birds; there are many other centers in different countries. The center in Morocco has made a plan to release more birds. There are some birds trained to be friendly, the staff who work in those centers are busy in spring because spring is breeding season. “This season about 10 percent will be kept for breeding, while the rest will be released” (Todorova 2011). Not all released birds survive, just 2/3 thirds. The scientists can track movements those birds by using radio satellite transmitters. The increase in nests proved that the program has succeeded.
