Abstract
The project is implementing conservation breeding of GIB and LF for future rewilding. Sites in Ramdevra and Sorsan were selected for long-term conservation breeding facilities for GIB and LF. Since the construction and operation of new facilities would require a few years, a temporary facility was established in Sam, Jaisalmer, in June 2019 that currently houses 16 artificially incubated hand-reared GIB, and another temporary facility was established in Bijainagar, Ajmer that currently houses two artificially incubated hand-reared LF, from wild-collected eggs.
