With only 30+ birds left in the state, the new action plan isn’t just about counting birds; it’s about carving out 200-500 sq km of safe, open habitat. The twist? They’re removing invasive trees, building predator-proof fences, and even swapping wild eggs to boost survival. It’s not just about saving one bird; it’s about saving the land itself. And here’s the kicker: Gujarat’s Banni grasslands might soon host cheetahs too. With 52 cheetahs now roaming India, conservation has shifted from single-species rescue to full landscape revival. One egg. One fence. One square kilometer. That’s how you rebuild an ecosystem.
