Bihar Bird Sanctuaries Gain International Ramsar Status

The Nagi and Nakti Bird Sanctuaries in Bihar have been recognized as Ramsar sites, highlighting their environmental importance. These wetlands, created for irrigation, now support diverse species, including endangered ones. The Ramsar designation aids conservation and raises awareness. Nagi, established in 1987, and Nakti, in 1990, are crucial for migratory birds and local biodiversity. However, Nakti faces challenges from local farming practices.
