Pitti Bird Sanctuary - Where wings meet the waves!

The history of Pitti Bird Sanctuary is intertwined with the natural history of the Lakshadweep Islands. For centuries, the islet has served as a vital nesting ground for migratory and resident bird species. Recognizing its ecological importance, the local administration designated Pitti as a bird sanctuary to protect its avian inhabitants and their breeding grounds. Conservation efforts have focused on minimizing human disturbance and preserving the natural habitat. While there are no significant historical events associated with the island in terms of human settlements or conflicts, its value lies in its continued role as a haven for birds, contributing to the biodiversity of the region. Research and monitoring activities are periodically conducted to assess the bird populations and ensure the effectiveness of conservation measures. The sanctuary stands as a testament to the commitment to preserving the natural heritage of Lakshadweep.
