More than 70 bird species have been recorded during the Asian Waterbird Census 2026 in and around Kawal Tiger Reserve. The findings highlight the importance of Telangana’s freshwater wetlands as key habitats for resident and migratory birds.
The Bombay Natural History Society, in collaboration with Wetlands International South Asia, will conduct the nationwide Asian Waterbird Census in January, inviting birders and citizens to participate in monitoring migratory waterbirds across India. Launched in 1987, the census tracks population trends and assesses the health of wetland ecosystems, contributing to national conservation planning and international environmental commitments.
