Abstract

The avifauna of Mahavir Swami Wildlife Sanctuary has never been studied before. So the study was undertaken to get a reliable checklist of the bird species in the sanctuary. The reasons to carry out this study was to know how many particular species of bird are present and to have baseline information for the protected area and its bird species, that is poorly known. A total of 176 species of birds representing 48 families were recorded. Of these, 143 species are resident and 33 migrant. Out of the total bird species reported 3 were critically endangered, 1 endangered, 1 vulnerable, 6 near threatened, for 4 species data has not been assessed and 161 least concerned. Although Deogarh is splendidly steeped in religious history, it has many treasures for the discerning nature lover to discover. In the future, this study will help to track changes in bird populations. Information on avian species can also be used to set priorities, allowing conservation effort to be focused on those species most in need of attention.
