Abstract
The Great Indian Bustard (Ardeotis nigriceps) and Lesser Florican (Sypheotides indicus) remain among the most Critically Endangered bird species globally, with estimated populations of approximately 140 and 800 individuals, respectively. Recovery efforts for these flagship species are vital not only for their survival but also for preserving the broader biodiversity of arid and semi-arid open natural ecosystems (ONEs) in India.
