Jaisalmer: a situation like drought in some parts of the Western Rajasthan because inadequate rainfall has influenced the reproduction of great Indian Bustars (GIBS) in the region.
Since marrying or breeding is rare this time, only three GIB is found in the desert national park and other enclosed space.
Of the three eggs, two eggs hatched and the third did not develop properly.
However, in the last two years more than 17 eggs endangered species.
Jaisalmer saw several rain spells only in July which disturbed agriculture in the region completely.
The GIB breeding season generally began in April and ended in August.
But because it wasn’t at all since July, the situation was not profitable for mating Gibs only producing two chicks.
Therefore, almost no increase in the number of Gibs.
Kapil Chandrawal, representative of the Desert National Park Forest Conservator, said, “The situation like drought has influenced GIB breeding and no new eggs found since July.” “This is in accordance with research findings that say that Gibs may not reproduce at all during the drought.
However, we hope to see changes in the situation,” he said.
He said that his team was looking for more eggs for the conservation breeding program.
Rajasthan Forest and Minister of Environment, Sukhram Vishnii, said the Ministry of Forestry made efforts to conserve GIB and planning strategies to increase the population of birds.
