Found in Desert regions of Rajasthan
Recently, a leading environmental group working for conservation of flora
and fauna has sought intervention of the External Affairs Ministry to put
pressure on Pakistan to ban hunting of rare birds, Houbara bustards, which
has drastically reduced India's share of their annual winter migration and
affected the desert eco-system. The hunting of Houbara bustards,
taxonomically classified as Clamydotis undulata , through falconry in
Pakistan has led to an alarming decline in their numbers. The poaching
mainly in Sindh province along the international border is not only a cause
of serious concern for India but also in violation of wildlife protection laws
and international conventions
