“…Cutting down their nesting trees, habitat destruction, urbanisation, collection of eggs and chicks, hunting of adults, conversion of wetlands in to agricultural lands, fisheries and the use of fertilizers and pesticides in agricultural land are threatening the survival of this species. Practise of poisoning pools to catch fishes also leads to incidental mortality of this species (Gyawali, 2004) Earlier records from Assam: Dibru-Saikhowa National Park (Choudhury, 1995;Saikia, 1995), Orang National Park (Saikia, 1995), Kaziranga National Park (Saikia, 1995;Bhattacharjee et al, 1996;Baruah, Sharma, 1999), Jengdia beel, Kamrup district (Saikia, 1995), Biswanath district (Choudhury, 2000, Kakati et al, 2021; Dum Duma-Dangori & Kumsong Reserve Forests (Saikia, 1995;Rahmani et al, 2016), Jamjing beel (Choudhury, 1992), Deepor beel (Saikia, Bhattacharjee, 1989), Nameri National Park (Choudhury, 1991), Majuli, Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, Dikhoumukh, Nalbari, Pani Dihing, Chakrashilla Wildlife Sanctuary, Sareswar beel (Saikia, 1995), Laokhowa Wildlife Sanctuary (Kahl, 1971;Saikia, 1995), Bherjan-Borajan-Podumoni Wildlife Sanctuary (Choudhury, 1995), Manas National Park (Rahmani et al, 1988;Saikia, 1995), Jhanjimuk-Kokilamukh, Jorhat (Mahanta et al, 2019), Behali Reserve Forest (Kakati et al, 2021) 2015). The total population is about fewer than 3300-8800 mature individuals (Birdlife International, 2022a) and is suspected to be declining at a rate of >30% over three generations as a result of extensive habitat loss due to deforestration, felling of nesting trees and destruction of wetlands (Maciorowski et al, 2014) and persistent persecution (Birdlife International, 2022a).…”

Dehing Patkai National Park, nestled in Assam’s Upper Brahmaputra valley, features a distinctive lowland forest landscape dominated by Dipterocarpus trees, teeming with fauna encompassing reptiles, birds, and mammals. Avian surveys were conducted from October 2021 to September 2023 to document avifaunal diversity within and surrounding the park. Point-transect method was used. One-hundred-and-fifty-one species from 54 families were recorded, including 43 terrestrial and 11 aquatic bird families. One-hundred-and twenty-seven species were residents, 18 winter migrants, five summer migrants, and one was a local migrant. Habitat disturbance was assessed across five transects; undisturbed habitats in T1 and T2 showed the highest Shannon-Wiener diversity index, while moderately and highly disturbed habitats in T3, T4, and T5 exhibited lower diversity. The analysis revealed a significant positive correlation (p ≤ 0.05) among different transects. A total of seven species (Ashy-headed Green Pigeon, Lesser Adjutant, White-cheeked Partridge, Alexandrine Parakeet, Red-breasted Parakeet, Austen’s Brown Hornbill, and Oriental Darter) are classified as ‘Near Threatened’ in the IUCN Red List of Threatened species; 12 species are in Schedule 1 under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. This investigation underscores Dehing Patkai National Park’s significance as a sanctuary for diverse bird populations, including threatened and near-threatened species. The decline in bird populations in disturbed areas emphasizes the urgency of implementing effective conservation and management strategies within the park, alongside continued research and monitoring to support its unique avian ecosystem.
