Preserving Biodiversity: An Initiative to Save the National Bird of India

Abstract

The imbalances in the bird population are evident throughout the world. The Pandemic proved to be a relief as the pollution levels came down and the different Avian species became visible. Humans were confined in four walls and wildlife got space to move freely. This was just the right time to take a step to restore the endangered species. The purpose to take this initiative was to spread awareness amongst the people and provide a conducive environment for the birds to eat and reproduce without the encroachment of humans. The number of the national bird was counted at the commencement of the project and the process was repeated after regular intervals to gauge the impact of the initiative.
