Boost
for fight to save Great Indian Bustard as chick born through IVF
Extract from the article:
The recent
development in the conservation efforts for the critically endangered Great
Indian Bustard has brought a ray of hope with the successful birth of a chick
through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) techniques. With less than 150 Great
Indian Bustards existing in the wild in India, this achievement marks a
significant milestone in the fight to save this majestic bird species. The
majority of these birds, around 90%, are predominantly found in the desert
landscapes of Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka.

My Take:
Where
there is a Will, there are Two Ways
"The Supreme
Court's orders impacting renewable energy projects due to the protection of the
Great Indian Bustard highlight the delicate balance between conservation and
development. My blog from 2021 foresaw the challenges faced by the industry
with the conversion of overhead power lines to underground in the habitat of these
endangered birds. The recent IVF success story underscores the urgency of
finding sustainable solutions that protect biodiversity while allowing for
progress."
Have
Lines: Save Birds
"The Supreme
Court's considerations to potentially lift the ban on transmission lines
through Great Indian Bustard habitats showcase the ongoing discussions on how
to best conserve this vulnerable species. In my blog from 2024, I highlighted
the court's review of the ban on overhead transmission lines in critical
habitats. This evolving narrative emphasizes the importance of adapting
policies to strike a balance between environmental protection and
infrastructural needs."

Call to Action:
To the Union
government and conservation authorities involved in defining critical habitat
areas for the Great Indian Bustard: "It's crucial to prioritize the
protection of these endangered birds while considering the needs of various
sectors. Collaborative efforts between policymakers, scientists, and industry
stakeholders are imperative to ensure a sustainable future for both
biodiversity and development."
