A Great Indian Bustard (GIB) chick has been born in Gujarat’s Kutch after a decade through a novel “jumpstart” conservation approach, Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav said on Saturday.

“Gujarat sees a GIB chick after a decade, through a novel conservation measure, the jumpstart approach,” Yadav said in a post on X, adding that the effort was coordinated by the Centre, state forest departments and the Wildlife Institute of India.
