We value the environment and consider it our rightful duty to ensure its protection for the present This is carried out in our captive breeding centers.

We value the environment and consider it our rightful duty to ensure its protection for the present and future generations. At the same time we do cherish our cultural heritage and take pride in it. This is why the vision of IFER is to conserve the endangered species in the environment considering the heritage of Qatar. This way we aim to preserve a sustainable Arabian falconry hand in hand with n

ature conservation. Many areas which are natural tract to some wild species that are classified “Vulnerable” have already been identified and adopted by IFER as protected areas. By carefully designed scientific methods, IFER ventures to raise the population size of such endangered species in these reserves. The interventions by IFER are in tune with the planned strategies aimed at increasing the numbers of the individuals of the wild species of interest. Thus we maintain our mission of increasing the population size of the endangered species in such reserves by the focused efforts and earnest activities. In compliance with our noble vision we execute our activities carefully to achieve the objectives in this stride to accomplish our mission. Plans are put into action in scientifically producing adequate numbers of endangered species like the Houbara Bustard and the Saker Falcon. The annual production of the target species from these centers are used to enhance the size of wild populations by release as well as replenishing the breeder stock apart from supporting responsible and sustainable hunting. The Errachidia Wild Life Breeding Center in Morocco is one captive breeding facility that rears the Houbara Bustard. The breeder flock of this desert beauty is captive bred here under expert supervision. The planned breeding resorts to techniques of artificial insemination and incubation of eggs. The annual production is reared carefully under special protocols of management. The EWBC functions with the aim of producing enough Houbara chicks every year so as to responsibly restock the wild population by releasing them back into their natural tracts. The upcoming center at Guelmime in Morocco also envisages to undertake captive breeding of Houbara. The new facility in Altai ,China has initiated the captive breeding efforts for the Saker Falcons.

(EWBC) ERRACHIDIA WILDLIFE BREEDING CENTER
The breeder flock of the desert beauty – Houbara bustard - is captive bred and reared scientifically in this facility under expert supervision. The planned breeding resorts to techniques of artificial insemination and incubation of eggs. The resulting houbara chicks are reared carefully under special protocols of management. The EWBC aims at producing enough houbara chicks every year to responsibly restock the wild population by releasing them into their natural tracts. For this the chicks are reared in custom designed semi - intensive enclosures with minimal human contacts. The method prevents human imprinting on the chicks and makes them better prospects for release into the wild. The noble efforts towards the cause of saving this desert beauty from extinction has been rewarded by encouraging results so far.

HOUBARA BREEDING
Declining numbers due to hunting, poaching and habitat losses have led to the Houbara bustard being classified “Vulnerable” by the IUCN. This uniquely majestic desert beauty needed captive breeding and re-introduction programs to help sustain its numbers in the wild. The International Fund for Ecological Research (IFER) under the patronage of MME Qatar is committed to interventions in this regard. Houbara captive breeding program at Errachidia Wildlife Breeding Center (EWBC) Errachidia, under the auspices of IFER is one such generous effort towards this noble cause.
