    ISSN:150 2394-1391 Indian Journal of Biology Volume 5 Number 2, July - December 2018 Original Article DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.21088/ijb.2394.1391.5218.7 Sustainable Conservation and Management of Indian Sarus crane (Grus antigone antigone) in and around Alwara Lake of District Kaushambi (U.P.), India Ashok Kumar Verma1, Shri Prakash2 Abstract The Indian Sarus crane, Grus antigone antigone is the only resident breeding crane of Indian subcontinent that has been declared as ‘State Bird’ by the Government of Uttar Pradesh. This is one of the most graceful, monogamous, non-migratory and tallest flying bird of the world that pair for lifelong and famous for marital fidelity. Population of this graceful bird now come in vulnerable situation due to the shrinking of wetlands at an alarming speed in the country. Present survey is aimed to study the population of sarus crane in the year 2017 in and around the Alwara Lake of district Kaushambi (Uttar Pradesh) India and their comparison to sarus crane population recorded from 2012 to 2016 in the same study area. This comparison reflects an increasing population trend of the said bird in the area studied. It has been observed that the prevailing ecological conditions of the lake, crane friendly behaviour of the local residents and awareness efforts of the authors have positive correlation in the sustainable conservation and increasing population trends of this vulnerable bird. Keywords: Alwara Lake; Conservation; Population Census; Sarus Crane; Increasing Trend. Introduction Author’s Affiliation: 1Head, Department of Zoology, Govt. P.G.

    120 Indian Birds VOL. 15 NO. 4 (PUBL. 16 DECEMBER 2019) Correspondence Painted Spurfowl from the Chota Nagpur Plateau area of West Bengal The Painted Spurfowl Galloperdix lunulata inhabits rocky slopes and scrub habitats of dry forests, from central to southern India, including the Aravalli Range of Rajasthan up to the Ayodhya Range of West Bengal (Ball 1874). Historically, it was recorded at Rajmahal Hill, Manbhum, Lohardaga, Sirguja, Jashpur, Udaipur, Sambalpur, northwards of Mahanadi, Raipur, Nowagarh, Karial, and along the Godavari Valley (Ball 1874, 1878) on the Chotanagpur Plateau. But there is no record of the species (Chakraborty 2011) from a large portion of this important ecogeographic region (Kumar & Rawat 2008). We report the presence of this species in the Chotanagpur region on the basis of several sight records supported by photographs taken on three occasions [163]. Fig. 1.
