Gujarat sees a GIB chick after a decade, through a novel conservation measure - the jumpstart approach, coordinated by the Ministry, State Forest Departments of Rajasthan and Gujarat, and Wildlife Institute of India. Envisioned by PM Shri Narendra Modi ji in 2011 to conserve GIB in its natural habitats including Gujrat, Project GIB was launched in 2016. As a result the number of birds in conservation breeding centres, started at Sam and Ramdevra in Rajasthan, have reached 73 with addition of 5 new chicks in this season and we are moving ahead towards rewilding of birds in near future. In achieving another milestone, a female GIB, tagged in August 2025, had laid an infertile egg in Kutch, as this population has lost all its males long back. In a major trans-state conservation effort, a captive-bred GIB egg from the conservation breeding program in Rajasthan was transported by road over 19 hours in a handheld portable incubator and was replaced in the nest on 22 March. The female completed incubating this fertile egg and hatched it on March 26. The field monitoring team found the young chick being reared by its foster mother. This effort is among one of the many steps to recover the critically endangered Great Indian Bustard populations. With the commitment to save GIB, we are making great progress in India’s conservation journey. Congratulations to all scientists, field officers and wildlife enthusiasts who made this possible. We are keeping our fingers crossed for the survival of the chick. At the same time we remain committed to leaving no stone unturned to make the endeavour successful. 🎥 The GIB takes a stroll with her chick.

President Xi Jinping has always attached great importance to ecological conservation. Following in his footsteps across China, let's explore his vision of harmony between humanity and nature. (8) On Aug 23, 2021, Xi visited the Saihanba Mechanized Forest Farm in #Hebei province, where what was once a barren wasteland has become one of the world's largest man-made forests through more than six decades of efforts — an achievement Xi hailed as a "miracle". Xi met a couple of forest rangers who had been stationed at a watchtower for over a decade, asking in detail about their daily work and living conditions. He praised their quiet dedication and selfless commitment to safeguarding Saihanba's forests. Walking into the forest, Xi said that it truly felt different there and that the air was fresh. Standing beside a larch tree, he ran his hands along the trunk and said, "It's growing very well, with a straight trunk." Talking with staff representatives of the farm, Xi said generations of workers there have forged through concrete actions the Saihanba Spirit, featuring staying true to the original aspiration, being hardworking and enterprising, and pursuing green development. Today, #Saihanba has a forest landscape of 1.15 million mu (about 76,700 hectares). Its afforestation community took home the UN Champions of the Earth award in 2017 for its outstanding contribution to the restoration of degraded landscape. Xi said that Saihanba had nurtured one million mu of man-made forest, setting an example in the global history of ecological progress. #XiJinping #XiEcoVision #EcologicalCivilization
