Migratory Birds Conservation and Indian Efforts

Abstract

There is always a dichotomy prevailing between development and conservation of the Environment. The conservation of migratory species is imperative because it connects the ecology thus, helps in maintaining stability. In the migration corridor, the migratory species witness a broad spectrum of disturbances which is a consequence of human activities like habitat fragmentation, industrialization which creates an obstacle in the process of migration for the migratory birds. The magnitude of disturbance caused in the migration pathway by the human activities as enlisted and the benefits derived from causing disturbance needs to be analyzed in detail. The article encapsulates the need for the conservation of migratory species and the efforts taken by India till time for facilitating the conservation of migratory species. It is imperative to note that the migratory species connect the whole planet and the Indian sub-continent is a part of a major bird flyway network therefore, considering its vital importance it is worthwhile to understand how the activity of migration takes place, how the migratory species adapt themselves in circumstances where human activities emerge as a threat to their life cycle, and the measures taken to protect them are implemented.
