Houbara is a unique species that has been categorized as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Unfortunately hunting and smuggling to the countries in the southern part of the Persian Gulf, as well as habitat degradation and exposure to pesticides has ( ... )
buted to a serious decline of this species. A previously implemented SGP project on Houbara conservation was successful in raising awareness and forming a local group of volunteer rangers and establishing a local micro-credit fund. However, monitoring of project results has shown that the local community still needs support in terms of financial resources to prevent them from hunting and
