Avian Ecology And Conservation Challenges In Keoladeo Bird Sanctuary, Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India

A recent study conducted at Keoladeo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Rajasthan, India, reveals significant threats to its rich avian biodiversity. The research identified 73 bird species, including eight globally threatened or near-threatened ones, with Ciconiidae being the most dominant family. Notably, a decline in migratory bird populations was observed, and Eurasian spoonbills were found nesting outside park boundaries, suggesting habitat degradation. The study highlights urgent conservation challenges such as habitat loss, fragmentation, water scarcity, and human interference, emphasizing the need for sustainable habitat management and regular ecological monitoring to preserve this critical biodiversity hotspot.
