The latest assessment by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) shows that the population of the Great Indian Bustard (Ardeotis nigriceps) has remained stable at about 110–150 birds. Listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, the bird now survives in only 16% of its potential habitat in Rajasthan's Thar Desert. The survey counted about 130 bustards (±21), 35 GIB flocks, 1,568 Chinkara herds and 79 desert foxes. Key threats are habitat fragmentation, farm expansion, poaching, egg predation and collisions with power lines. Conservation steps include Project Great Indian Bustard, captive breeding at Sam and Ramdevra, habitat improvement and power-line management as directed by the Supreme Court.
