Grassland obligate birds are declining rapidly and remain severely understudied, much like the open natural ecosystems they inhabit – often overlooked and vanishing without protection. Despite facing habitat loss and rising extinction risks, these birds receive far less attention than charismatic megafauna. In a crucial step toward change, Kaziranga National Park has conducted its first-ever grassland bird survey. The findings are promising, highlighting the park’s rich avian diversity, but they also underscore the urgent need for conservation action. Swipe to explore the key discoveries from the survey.
