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.

                                               Desert Survival: finding water

The Bedouin used wells as source of water and directions for navigating in the desert. The desert is not an easy place to live; the Bedouin lived by managing hidden food and water. Finding water wasn’t that hard for the Bedouin because they know where they could find wells. The Bedouin could find water by digging 1 meter into the ground, they keep digging until they found the water and the well will named the name of person .who did the job. Even if the well dried they still get benefits of that well because it gives people the directions. The Bedouin used another source of water,from a camel’s stomach. They may use milk of camels and goats instead of water. The sun's heat didn’t stop the Bedouin, the Bedouin were able to last longer without water more than normal people.
