Title:  Echoes Across Continents: Safeguarding Migratory Birds in India's Keoladeo Wetlands
Abstract:  Keoladeo National Park, located in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India, serves as one of the most significant wintering grounds for migratory birds from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, China, and Siberia. This study evaluates the conservation practices implemented for migratory bird protection at this UNESCO World Heritage Site and Ramsar Wetland Site. Despite hosting over 370 bird species, the park faces critical challenges including water scarcity, invasive species, and climate change impacts. This paper examines the effectiveness of current conservation strategies, analyzes the decline in migratory bird populations, and proposes recommendations for sustainable management. The research highlights the urgent need for comprehensive water management, invasive species control, and community-based conservation approaches to ensure the long-term survival of this critical avian habitat.
