Hi,

Great bustard is very rare too in Morocco. less than 50 singles lives now in the north west of Morrocco (40 km south of tangier) the only place in Africa where this bird breed yet.
the future of the species is dubious whereas no efforts are made to save the last remaing birds.

Hi Imad,

we had fewer than 50 birds. Now the number raised up over 100.
Also White-tailed Eagle raised up until 500 pairs last year. Sometimes the eagle attac the bustards.
The bustards are very shy. So the live in an area which are not permitted to step. But there are good tower for watching.

Best regards
Dieter
