BIRD DIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION OF WETLAND HABITATS INHARYANA: ECOLOGICAL INSIGHTS AND MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Wetland ecosystems in Haryana, India are important habitats that contain a variety of avian species, which provide vital resources to the birds in terms of breeding, migration, and survival. Nevertheless, these ecosystems are becoming highly endangered by human activities, climate change, and changes in land-use. This research paper will examine the bird life in the wetland ecosystems in the state of Haryana in terms of ecological importance of the wetlands to the resident and migratory birds species. The study finds out the important bird species and their population patterns through field surveys and ecological surveys, highlighting the
importance of wetlands in ensuring biodiversity. The paper also explores the issues wetlands are experiencing because of urbanization, shortage of water and agricultural developments and provides effective management recommendations on how these crucial eco systems can be conserved. The study highlights the importance of combined conservation including habitat restoration, sustainable water management practice and awareness program in order to safeguard the survival of the wetland-dependent bird species in Haryana in the long term
