Answer 1

Answer:

The Great Indian Bustard is Critically Endangered, having been extirpated from 90% of its former range in India. The largest remaining population is found in the Thar Desert in Rajasthan, a vast landscape of sand dunes, scrublands and grasslands. It is the most densely human-populated desert in the world. Due to poor planning, lack of community involvement, and resulting public opposition to conservation, the Great Indian Bustard has disappeared from four protected areas designated for its conservation. Poaching and habitat loss from livestock grazing and agricultural encroachment have also contributed to its decline.
