Zusammenfassung:( 2013) argue that the issue of inadequate funding to save biodiversity is a problem not only exclusive to developing countries, as even countries with better GDP typically allocate relatively less funding for biodiversity research. [...]in developing countries, studies on the ecological requirements of threatened avian species should be undertaken supported by funding provided by government agencies, as this generally makes policy-planning relatively easier for other government-run agencies that deal with policy implementation. [...]effort to protect these species by creating more extensive PA networks and gaining more detailed information regarding dietary specialization are being made increasingly more difficult against a backdrop of expanding human populations, which prevents local and federal governments designating more areas as PAs. [...]traditional practices of hunting by local tribes, which often have valued cultural significance, make the enforcement of laws within existing PAs even more challenging (Datta et al., 2008). In this regard, although federal government has recently inaugurated an initiative to create Eco-sensitive Zones (ESZs) (MoEFCC, 2011) around PAs, which are designed to serve as “shock absorbers,” these will benefit only those species already inhabiting PAs and do little in the way of protecting threatened species distributed beyond PA boundaries.
