Title

AVIFAUNA OF MAYANI DAM: AN ENDERGERED WETLAND OF INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE

Abstract

Birds are ideal bioindecators and useful model for studying variety of environmental problems. Observation of Mayani wetland is helpful in deciding national conservation strategies. BNHS, Mumbai, had organized bird counting program to identification, documentation, protection and management of avifauna and wetland. Avifauna at the site of study is very negligible or almost null. It indicates that the wetland is lost and degraded completely. It can’t have the “wetland of International importance under Ramsar convention 7th May 1999”. Wetland under study, undergone fast degradation and loss on massive scale due to human activities like cultivation of crops, grazing by cattle, poaching and hunting, adverse climatic changes, pollution, loss of sustainable upland habitat that surrounds wetland, large trees on the wall of pond, and excessive growth of aquatic weeds. Avian biodiversity showed drastic reduction in number of birds at the Mayani Dam. Flamingo didn’t visit since 2003. It is reported that flamingos are shifted their stay at nearby wetlands like Yeralawadi and Rajewadi Dams. Water weed like hyacinth make birds feel insecure and they can’t mark their predators and poachers from long distance. Hyacinth reduces growth of Autolisa which is major food of these birds. Government agencies i.e. Forest department, Ministry of Environment, NGOs, School and college students are organizing awareness program to educate people about importance conservation of wetland.
