Keoladeo National Park or more popularly called as Bharatpur Bird Park is a World Heritage Site. It boasts of a total of 375 plus bird species, in addition to a healthy number of mammal, reptile and insect species, and all easily accessible in a 27 square kilometres walkable jungle.
The park has a number of winged visitors in winter as it lies on the migratory highway. Thousands of birds rest, breed and regain strength before travelling further south.
Due to the protected status the park has been able to withstand the onslaught of deforestation combined with unplanned development, but the droughts and lack of water supply may undo much of the good work done till now. Above that we have the new threat of Climate Change, which may further deepen the droughts and may cause disturbance in the complex fauna and flora relationships.
The park has been upgrading its infrastructure for serving visitors and that has provided economic benefits to communities living around it. Their involvement and appreciation is important for the long term survival of the park.
This book has been prepared to help the reader appreciate, the unique outstanding universal value of this bird park. An extensive appendix is given of fauna and flora with links to Wikipedia for more information.
