ABSTRACT

With regards to an ex-situ conservation plan and program of Moroccan houbara bustards, the genetic diversity of a captive breeding stock of (Chamydotis undulata undulata) was studied and assessed using metapopulational approaches. The present study aims thus, the description and comparison of various strategies implemented in the species conservation that would conduct to: 1) a better quantification of the gain and loss of genetic diversity of the houbara herd made up of wild and captive populations, and consequently, to 2) a pertinent tracing of conservation and management priorities of the Moroccan avian subspecies.
