ECWP Main Objectives and First Achievements
1 - To establish and manage a self-sustaining captive-breeding programme of houbara bustards.
The captive-breeding of houbara bustard is a long and complex process. Only a complete artificial
reproduction process applied on hand-reared and imprinted breeder birds can contribute to a significant
captive production. Other types of breeding methods used in captivity always proved to be chancy and
less productive.
