The great diversity of habitats and variety of climates has resulted in the Indian subcontinent being extremely rich in birds which contains about 1,300 species. Many of these species and their habitats are under threat. Despite large numbers of studies have been made in avian conservation science, we lack an integrated strategy and comprehensive research priorities. Setting clear priorities can assist bird conservation initiatives by attracting funding, awareness and flag opportunities for students and researchers, and help inform policy makers.

Tell us your perspectives on research and conservation priorities, conservation strategies and roles of organizations in Indian ornithology.
