India's 4th bird ringing station, MoU inked: Bihar

Patna: Bihar is set to have a flying creature ringing station, dedicated to perception, observing and look into on transient fowls – the fourth such office in the nation and the first to be set up with the help of a state government – a high ranking representative said here Monday.

Head Secretary, Environment and Forests, Dipak Kumar Singh, said a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was traded by delegates of the Bihar government and the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) at Gandhinagar within the sight of CK Mishra, Secretary to the Union Ministry for Environment, Forests and Climate Change.

“The MoU was traded uninvolved of CMS-COP 13, or the 13th Conservation of Migratory Species-Conference of Parties, held at the Gujarat capital where delegates from 130 nations are partaking in conversations on conservation of transitory species,” educated said.

“Up until this point, there are three feathered creature ringing stations – at Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan and Odisha. The Bihar government will spend Rs 5 crore for the new task. According to the MoU, which is for a time of five years, the new feathered creature ringing station will be kept an eye on via prepared researchers and other gifted labor from BNHS,” the central secretary expressed.

Singh said the MoU was marked by Pradeep Apte, Director BNHS, and Bihar’s Chief Wildlife Warden Prabhat Kumar Gupta. “This will be the primary fowl ringing station in the nation to be set up with help of a state government. Its principle place will be at Bhagalpur, found near the Ganges, and is known to be a most loved goal of transient winged animals,” he said.

“Indeed, it happens to be among the main three rearing spots of Greater Adjutant over the world, the other two being in Assam and Cambodia,” Singh included.
