Assam Bird Sanctuary Faces 70% Species Decline

Assam's Bordoibam-Bilmukh Bird Sanctuary is facing a biodiversity crisis with a 70% decline in bird species. This alarming drop, from 167 species to just 47, is driven by habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. Assam’s unique position along major migratory routes makes it vital for bird populations. Conservation efforts, including habitat restoration and public awareness campaigns, are underway to address the crisis. Immediate action is crucial, with collaboration between scientists, local communities, and policymakers needed to restore the sanctuary’s ecological balance and ensure long-term conservation success.
