Hunting with falcons for houbara bustards was an integral part of
traditional life in the desert. Over the last few decades, this
magnificent bird - so well adapted to the desert environment - has
become an endangered species, due both to continued hunting and to
the degradation of its habitat by domestic livestock. This book
highlights the achievements of the National Wildlife Research
Center of Saudi Arabia in securing the survival of the species
through captive breeding, with the aim of reintroducing the houbara
to the wild. The breeding programme has proved to be the greatest
source of information yet available on the bird, yielding important
data not obtainable from wild houbaras. Propagation of the Houbara
Bustard is a practical 'how-to' manual for breeding the bird in
captivity. It also presents and summarises the background data on
houbara diet, behaviour, physiology, reproductive biology and
veterinary care that have enabled the breeding programme to succeed
in the short span of eight years. It will be of interest not only
to breeders of houbara and other bustard species, but to all those
who are studying or managing wild populations.
