Report About Falconers

 

I will write in this report about falconers and the target for breeding Asian Houbara which was exceeded. The International Fund for Houbara Conservation (IFHC) bred 13,105 young houbara and this will keep the species alive. Also, they want to keep the wild population. There are two centres outside the UAE where chicks are bred in Morocco and Kazakhstan.

Falcons must be trained to hunt houbara. This sport spread very fast in the GCC. Although, it’s prohibited some people are doing it and some people are overhunting in some places. They are using weapons to hunt. ‘’ We have to educate people and give them advice before they think like this’’ said Mr Al Baidani.

 The best place to see everything about falcons and hunting is the hunting exhibition which is located in Abu Dhabi. In the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition . During this event the IFHC distributed surveys for hunters and falconers to know and measure how many houbara birds will be needed to be bred. The big issue about the black market is nobody knows from where these come houbara or who is selling and buying them. Also this exhibition is a chance for all ages to take knowledge about animals, hunting equipment and lectures.
