Nelapattu Bird Sanctuary - Where wings take flight!

The Nelapattu Bird Sanctuary was established in 1976, recognizing the ecological importance of the area as a breeding ground for migratory birds. The sanctuary's tanks have historically served as a vital water source for the surrounding agricultural lands, inadvertently creating a perfect habitat for various bird species. Over the years, conservation efforts have focused on maintaining the water levels, protecting the nesting sites, and preventing disturbances to the birdlife. The sanctuary has witnessed fluctuations in bird populations due to environmental changes and human activities. However, ongoing initiatives by the forest department and local communities aim to ensure the long-term sustainability of this crucial avian habitat.
