Jharkhali, Sundarbans: In a strategic endeavor to enhance the appeal of Sundarbans for tourists, celebrated for diverse wildlife, the Forest Department introduces an innovative addition – exclusive bird enclosures, ingeniously nestled within the expansive mangrove landscape, providing visitors with an unparalleled opportunity to intimately experience the unique avian diversity of the region.
Among tourists both local and foreign, Sundarbans stands out as one of the most attractive destinations. Enclosed by the sprawling mangrove forests, the Sundarbans is a vast green sanctuary for the Royal Bengal Tigers, over 100 in numbers, freely roaming in its marshy terrain. The tidal waves do not deter the fearless deer from grazing, and even the elusive Kumir (crocodile) remain hidden beneath the waters. Beyond these, the Sundarbans also harbors a captivating array of avian life that is capable of spellbinding any bird enthusiast.
However, witnessing the diverse birdlife of Sundarbans was challenging for tourists due to the lack of a proper facility. Hence, two separate enclosures for bird watching are being created in Sundarban Wild Animals Park, Jharkhali. The initiative, spearheaded by the Forest Department, seeks to provide a comfortable habitat for local birds that have long been overlooked.
This wild animals park, already distinguished by its Tiger Rehabilitation Center, enclosures for deers and crocodiles, and butterfly gardens, is now expanding its offerings with the introduction of exclusive bird enclosures that will showcase various extraordinary bird species found in Sundarbans.
With everything in place, the two enclosures are expected to be ready within the next month. The park will soon become a comfortable habitat for the local birds, bringing joy to hopeful environmentalists.
For both local and international tourists, these new bird enclosures offer an unprecedented opportunity to witness the diverse birdlife of the Sundarbans up close. The park is anticipated to become a prime destination in the coming weeks, introducing a fresh allure to the Sundarbans.
Local environmentalists express optimism about the positive impact of this initiative. “These bird enclosures not only provide a treat for tourists but also represent a crucial step towards conservation. They offer a proper habitat for local birds, ensuring their well-being,” remarked one environmental activist.
As the Sundarbans continues to unravel its wonders, the inclusion of the Basanti Jharkhali Wild Animals Park with bird enclosures signifies a significant milestone. Tourists planning to visit in the coming weeks are encouraged to explore this newly established attraction, where the skies of Sundarbans come alive with an array of feathered wonders.
