Three Great Indian Bustards were spotted in Pakistan’s Cholistan desert.

• The recent sighting of Great Indian Bustards (GIBs) in the Cholistan desert led to the speculation that these species have migrated from Desert National Park (DNP) in Rajasthan, India.
• The three GIBs were spotted in the Cholistan game reserve in the southern part of Punjab province.
• The migration may have taken place because of the shrinking habitat in DNB.
• GIBs are critically endangered in Pakistan because of the absence of protective measures and rampant hunting by poachers.
