Greetings to all,
Pokhara bird society is an organization dedicated to conservation since its inception and has been carrying out its activities accordingly. Considering Earth as a common habitat for biodiversity, we carry out our activities on the status, distribution, ecology and habitat conservation of birds. As we are losing important habitats like forests, wetland and grasslands, the bird species are vulnerable and some are already near extinction. In addition, the human-induced problems like unplanned urbanization, pollution, illegal hunting and poaching are adding more threats to their survival. So, we feel the conservation of birds and biodiversity as an urgency of the hour and look forward to our collective and unified efforts toward achieving this goal. We would like to present our gratitude to all the advisors, collaborators, members and well-wishers, and hope for continued cooperation in the future, as we work toward our shared goal of conserving our feathered friends.
Bird of the month
The Sarus Crane (Grus antigone), the world’s tallest flying bird, is a vulnerable and locally resident species in Nepal’s Terai, mainly in Rupandehi, Kapilvastu and Nawalparasi. It is easily recognised by its grey body and striking red head and neck. Around 690–700 individuals have been recorded in Nepal, but their numbers are declining due to wetland loss, agricultural intensification and electrocution threats. Protecting wetlands is crucial for the survival of this iconic crane.
