Broad-tailed grassbird, Garganey, and Banasura and Ashambu Laughingthrushes, which have a highly restricted distribution, are among 20 bird species of Kerala that are facing high risk of survival.
The State of India’s Birds 2023 report, which was released recently, has listed out the avian species of highest conservation priority for the State.
The earlier assessment carried out in 2020 had listed 15 species of conservation priority. The report is brought out by the State of India’s Birds Partnership, a group of 13 government and non-government organisations. This year, the report assessed the “status of 942 bird species largely using data uploaded by birdwatchers to the online platform eBird.”
