2. Types of UAE Birds
 Houbara
 Asian Houbara
 North African Houbara
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.

3. The Asian Houbara: (Chlamydotis macqueenii)
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.

4. The North African Houbara (Chlamydotis undulata)
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.
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 centers to
support and increase wild populations of the bird in its natural habitats
across entire species range.
