Create Awareness About Birds- Not Just Fun And Frolic

The Department of Forest and Wildlife of The Chandigarh Union Territory came up with this project (Chandigarh Bird Park) not only to entertain the citizens but to educate them as well. Exotic birds can be found all around the world and more than 10% of their population resides and flourish in India. These birds commonly breed across the Indian subcontinent and the department aims to create awareness among the general people about their habitat and the struggles that they face post-industrialisation, especially in a developing country like India.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Indian Bird Conservation Network is part of an International Treaty for Conservation and Sustainable Use of Wetlands? This treaty was signed at Ramsar in Iran. India became a part of this treaty in February 1982. Currently, our country has 27 Ramsar sites. The area that is covered by these wetlands is approximately 11,120 sq. km.

Bird Preservation is Our Responsibility

It is our duty to protect rare and endangered species of birds all across the country. You should know that at least 1,317 bird species are present only in the Indian subcontinent alone. You should also be aware that more than 10,000 species of birds are found all across the world which means that more than 10% of them belong only to India.

According to an assessment done by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, 100 species of Indian birds fall under the category of “threatened” species. Out of them, 17 are labelled as “critically endangered.” Twenty of them are “endangered” and 63 have been labelled as “vulnerable.” Not just this, but there are several other species that are already scarce in population size and continue to see a decline in their numbers. Our bird population comprises several birds such as raptors, bustards, hornbills, cranes, storks, pheasants, and many more.

It is only through constant education and awareness will we be able to make a difference in their declining numbers. It is essential to make a contribution towards planting trees on a larger scale, rehabilitating mating areas for these birds, preventing illegal encroachment on forest areas, and stopping unauthorised construction of buildings and other structures in reserves or on green belts only meant for wildlife. Together we can help our birds and other wildlife from disappearing into oblivion. Together we can visualise and create an India that is as diverse in her socio-cultural entities and heritage as it is in her natural gifts.
