“…Sudan has lost a number of wildlife species in the last two decades and this is mostly due to habitat destruction; several varieties of grasses and herbs have disappeared due to overgrazing, and repeated droughts and res. As reported by Sulieman, et. al, (2016) in the Shendi area, the main threat that affects birds is the destruction of their habitat by tree cutting for agricultural use.…”

“…In Kassala most of suitable habitat is farmland and lest amount of water viability and similarly, reported by (Sumaila et al, 2020). Also, relevant study indicates that urbanization, industrialization, the threatening of wetlands and the widespread use of pesticides has a threat to birds in wildlife and many wildlife species are endangered because of illegal hunting or over-hunting (Sulieman, et. al, 2016)…”

The study of avifaunal diversity is an essential ecological tool, which acts as an important indicator to evaluate different habitat condition both qualitatively and quantitatively. Birds are play ecological functions, which include disease regulation, biomass recycling, seed dispersal of fleshy fruits, and pollination. The study was aimed to assess the diversity and distribution of bird species in east Sudan. The result of this finding is valuable data base on area to game orders, area specific management planers, conservationists, ecologists and provides baseline information for different scientific recommendation. Study was conducted in three states; Red Sea, Kassalaa and El Gadarif states in represent eastern States in Sudan. A point transect count aided by binocular was employed to investigate avian species diversity and distribution. Biodiversity indexes were used to calculate the bird species diversity and one way-ANOVA. All together (43) birds species belonging to (11) orders. The highest number of birds observed was Village Weaver (11.7%) belonging to order of Passeriformes. While the orders identified with the highest numbers of different bird species were Accipitriformes (18.6%); and Passeriformes (18.6). The maximum number of birds observed during in states was El Gadarif (45.3%). it concluded that the area has good potential for bird watching tourism that can integrate economic gain with biodiversity conservation. Hence, urgent conservation measures and further detail research is recommended.
