 Species info - HTML
The main breeding areas were apparently in the districts of Nashik, Ahmednagar and Sholapur of Maharastra, eastern Haryana and the Kathiawar Peninsula (south-central and south Gujarat) (Goriup and Karpowicz 1985), but are now in southern Rajasthan, southern and eastern Gujarat, and western Madhya Pradesh (Sankaran 1991, 1994b).
Subdivision, fragmentation and shrinking of the vast expanse of grasslands in north-western India became serious with the change in land act (the Land Ceiling Act) in the early 1970s, when the grasslands held under ownership by landlords and farmers were acquired by government and redistributed among small agrarians (Sankaran 1993).
Creation of a cattle camp in Ratlam district (near Sailana Kharmor Sanctuary), Madhya Pradesh, by the Forest Department, wherein more than 600 head of cattle were stall-fed, resulted in a decreased grazing pressure on the grassland habitat and also helped in a significant rejuvenation of vegetation in florican habitat (Sankaran 1994b).
