The Houbara Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to conserving the Houbara bustard bird. There are two distinct species of Houbara - the Asian Houbara found across Central Asia, the Middle East and Arabia, and the North African Houbara which lives in North Africa and Egypt. The International Fund for Houbara Conservation oversees breeding centers and conservation efforts across the species' ranges to help increase wild populations.

3. HOUBARA
The Houbara bustard was
previously considered as a single
species with separate
populations. However, studies
revealed that the populations in
Asia and North Africa were
distinct species based on a
hereditary, morphological and
geographical and behavioral basis.
In 2014 this distinction was
officially recognised and the
species taxonomy was changed on
the IUCN Red List.

4. ASIAN HOUBARA
The Asian Houbara population extends from northeast
Asia (Mongolia and China) across central Asia, the
Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula to reach the
Sinai desert.
After the breeding spring season in Central Asia, some
Asian Houbara groups migrate southward to spend
winter in warmer regions (the Arabian Peninsula,
Pakistan, and nearby Southwest Asia). In the early
spring, these groups return to their breeding habitats in
China, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and other north-eastern
provinces.
Some of the Asian Houbara groups live and breed in the
southern part of their range areas, particularly in Saudi
Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen and
parts of Iran, Pakistan and Turkmenistan.

5. NORTH AFRICAN HOUBARA
The range area of the north african houbara extends from north africa to the nile river valley
in egypt. 80% of the population is settled in morocco and algeria.
Unlike asian houbara, birds of this species do not migrate, and are limited to movements in
their natural areas.

6. WHO WE ARE
The international fund for houbara conservation (IFHC) is a
non-profit organisation supported by the government of
abu dhabi. It is one of the world's largest species
conservation projects, overseeing an international network
of specialised houbara breeding centres to support and
increase wild populations of the bird in its natural habitats
across entire species range.
