Karnataka Forest Department Launches Digital Portal to Track Migratory Birds at Major Water Bodies
The forest department has unveiled an online database to monitor migratory birds at Karnataka's lakes and water bodies, inviting public birdwatchers to contribute data.
The Karnataka Forest Department has introduced a new e‑portal designed to digitally track migratory birds that visit the state's major water bodies and lakes. The platform will serve as an online database for recording sightings and movements of these birds.
The portal allows users to log bird sightings in real time, providing data that can be accessed by researchers and conservationists. It is intended to improve the accuracy of the annual bird census and help in the planning of conservation measures.
Public bird enthusiasts are encouraged to use the portal to submit their observations. By contributing data, citizen scientists can aid the forest department in monitoring bird populations and identifying critical habitats.
The initiative is part of Karnataka's broader efforts to strengthen wildlife monitoring and to promote community participation in conservation. The new database is expected to enhance the department's ability to protect migratory bird species and their habitats.
