Over 40 bird species, including a critically endangered and two endangered ones, have been recorded in the first-ever grassland survey in Assam’s Kaziranga National Park, a state minister said on Monday.
“Thrilled to share that @kaziranga_’s first-ever grassland survey has recorded 43 grassland bird species – including 1 Critically Endangered, 2 Endangered, and 6 Vulnerable species, plus several regional endemics,” Forest Minister Chandra Mohan Patowary said in a post on X.
The Brahmaputra floodplain ecosystem boasts the highest diversity of grassland obligate birds in India, reflecting the habitat’s robust health and effective protection, he said.
