BHARATPUR, Jan 7: Bird census is starting in Nepal from today. Himalayan Nature, under the leadership of the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation, has started counting birds in all national parks, wetlands and reservoirs of the country.
It was a proud moment for Nepal when the news surfaced that it has nearly tripled its tiger population in 2022. Now there are 355 tigers in Nepal, a fact that speaks for itself. It was in 2010 when Nepal committed to doubling its tiger population within a decade and now it has reached its goal quite successfully. Nature is certainly bewildering. It has species that aren’t just mesmerising and unique to look at but also work in tandem to balance the ecology which has become quite precarious as of late. Among animals, species are classified into two groups: vertebrates (those animals with backbones) and invertebrates (those animals without backbones). Among the vertebrates there are five well-known classes such as mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians.
The national count of aquatic birds in major wetlands of Nepal is going to be held from January 1 to 16, 2022.
Wetland International will lead the count in coordination with national partner Himalayan Nature.
Every morning, the sun rises up on the horizon pouring down glimmer. Its rays sometimes get hidden by the fluffy pillow-shaped gray clouds in the clear blue sky and the birds resting on branches of trees relish the warmth of the rays. In the winter, the snowflakes fall down from the bright aquamarine sky like the shredded pieces of white tissue.
