Assessment of Avian Diversity and Conservation Status in Bhindawas Wildlife Sanctuary: A Special Reference to Migratory Bird Species

67 bird families from 23 different bird orders were recorded during this observation.This highlights a rich and diverse avian community, encompassing birds with varied ecological roles and life histories.Certain families stand out with higher RDi values, indicating they were encountered more frequently during the study.These include Anseriformes (Ducks, Geese, and Swans) with an RDi of (9.52), Pelecaniformes (Pelicans, Herons, and Egrets) with an RDi of 10.48, Accipitriformes (Hawks, Eagles, and Kites) with an RDi of 4.76, Ciconiiformes (Storks and Jabirus) with an RDi of 3.81 and Galliformes (Chickens, Pheasants, and Grouse) also at 2.86.Combining RDi with other methods like point counts or transect surveys could provide a more comprehensive understanding of bird distribution.Several orders and families were represented by only one species, resulting in RDi values of 0.95.This report aims to analyze the issue of water scarcity in Bhindawas Wildlife Sanctuary, with a special focus on bird species.It provides an overview of the sanctuary, its importance for avian biodiversity, and the impact of water scarcity on bird populations.The report also explores the causes of water scarcity, the current measures taken to mitigate the problem, and suggests potential solutions to ensure the long-term conservation of bird species in the sanctuary.
