Experts and volunteers launch Kerala Bird Atlas 2.0 to monitor ecology

Birdwatchers and volunteers across Keralam have launched the Kerala Bird Atlas 2.0 to revisit survey cells and evaluate ecological changes over the last decade.

The first edition of the atlas, released in 2021 following surveys across 4,324 sub-cells, offered insights into the distribution of common and poorly monitored bird species.

Experts note that species distribution changes, such as the spread of peafowl, indicate transformations in the State's climate and environment.
