Can hunting save the Great Indian Bustard?

The Supreme Court’s intervention in the case of the Great Indian Bustard (GIB) emphasiszes the urgent need to balance renewable energy projects with wildlife conservation. The Court’s directives, such as predator-proof fencing, controlled grazing, and the installation of bird diverters on power lines, are commendable steps towards mitigating the risk of bird fatalities.
