Graded summary #1

Houbara bustards

In the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, the Houbara birds are endangered. Between 1995 and last year, the Emirates Center for Wildlife Propagation had care for 60,000 birds in remote Morocco. There are plans of releasing 15,000 birds per season. Humans train the birds that are staying in breathings to be more familiar to them. The female lays three eggs and hatch 24 days. The author says “Even petting the newly hatched birds has a purpose” (Todorova, V. 2011). Chicks are kept in cages until they are released. A year after their release, 65 percent of the birds survive and they are monitored by scientists with radio and satellite transmitter to know every movement of the birds. The last 10 years nesting has increased and the center reached the goal of taking care of endangered species.
