Ahmedabad Bird Mapping

The Ahmedabad City Bird Mapping Project is an initiative aimed at systematically documenting and analyzing the city’s avian population. The project focuses on assessing bird species diversity, population density, habitat preferences, and human interaction to gain insights into their ecological roles and conservation needs.

Key Objectives:

  • Identify Residential Bird Population: Mapping common and migratory bird species across various urban and semi-urban areas.
  • Analyze Density & Distribution: Understanding how different bird species are distributed within Ahmedabad based on habitat types.
  • Study Human-Bird Interaction: Evaluating the impact of urbanization, pollution, and human activities on bird populations.
  • Habitat & Flora-Fauna Assessment: Examining the availability of nesting sites, food sources, and biodiversity in different parts of the city.

Benefits & Conservation Impact:

  • Helps in designing urban planning policies that are bird-friendly.
  • Aids in identifying critical green spaces that need protection or enhancement.
  • Supports awareness campaigns for residents on co-existing with urban wildlife.
  • Provides data for scientific research and future conservation strategies.

This project plays a crucial role in safeguarding urban bird populations by guiding policy-making, environmental sustainability efforts, and urban biodiversity management.
