Passage Migrants: Birders Put ‘the Ring’ On Passage Migrants | Ahmedabad News

A team of over 135 ornithologists, conservationists, foresters, and volunteers gathered in Kutch for the annual survey of passage migrants and have successfully ringed four species out of eight being mapped. This collaborative effort by the Bird Conservation Society of Gujarat and Bird Count India, along with the state forest department, is the first of its kind in India to monitor passage migrants. The birds make a pit stop in Kutch to refuel on their migration route from Central and East Asia to Africa. The survey covers a vast area and aims to track the population trends of these birds over the years. Climate change, hunting, and changes in land use are some of the threats these birds face. Protecting their habitats and creating migratory corridors are crucial for their conservation. Kutch is a favored pit stop for these birds due to its proximity to Africa, abundant food sources, and diverse habitats. Sure!
