    UP State Biodiversity Board BBIIOODDIIVV NNeewwss Volume : 6 n Issue : 22 n Jan - Mar 2015 A Quarterly e‐Newsletter Editorial Esteemed Readers, Environmentalists, biologists and others concerned about the health of the planet and its inhabitants recognize the key role wetlands play in life on Earth. Besides containing a disproportionately high number of plant and animal species compared to other land forms, wetlands serve a variety of ecological services including feeding downstream waters, trapping floodwaters, recharging groundwater supplies, removing pollution and providing fish and wildlife habitat. Wetlands are critical for human development and wellbeing, especially in India where a large number of people are dependent on them for drinking water, food and livelihood. Despite their immense importance, wetlands are one of the most degraded ecosystems globally. Research suggests that over-exploitation of fish resources, discharge of industrial effluents, fertilizers and pesticides and uncontrolled siltation Painted storks and weed infestation, among other reasons, have wiped out or severely damaged over Photo Credit : (Mycteria leucocephala) Neeraj Mishra 1/3rd of India's wetlands. Wetlands are on the “front-line” as development pressures increase everywhere. When they are viewed as unproductive or marginal lands, wetlands are targeted for drainage and conversion. The rate of loss and deterioration of wetlands is accelerating in all regions of the world. The pressure on wetlands is likely to intensify in the coming decades due to increased global demand for land and water, as well as climate change. The Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules, 2010 is a positive step towards conservation of wetlands in India. Under the Rules, wetlands have been classified for better management and easier identification.

  • Are You Suprised ? F…
    1.0 INTRODUCTION The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 has been aimed to fulfill the water quality requirement of designated-best-uses of all the natural aquatic resources. Loss of bio-diversity on account of degradation of habitat has become the cause of major concern in recent years. Central Pollution Control Board, while executing the nation wide responsibility for water quality monitoring and management has established water quality monitoring network in the country. The Water Quality Monitoring Network constitutes 784 monitoring stations located on various water bodies all over the country. However, wetland areas have not been included as part of regular water quality monitoring network in the country. Keeping in view the importance of water quality of wetland areas, Central Pollution Control Board has initiated studies on Bio-monitoring of selected wetlands in wildlife habitats of the country. Bio monitoring of wetlands in wild life sanctuaries has been considered as most suitable measure to evaluate the health of wildlife ecosystem. Further, the monitoring of environmental variables will be immensely helpful in protecting and restoring the ecological status in these threatened habitats. 2.0 CPCB’S INITIATIVES FOR BIO-MONITORING OF WETLANDS Under the Indo-Dutch collaborative project, the development of bio- monitoring methodology for Indian river water quality evaluation was initiated during 1988. The Central Pollution Control Board carried out a pilot study on the River Yamuna for a selected stretch from Delhi upstream to Etawah downstream. The main objective of this study was to formulate strategic methods, which can be accepted in scientific and legislative framework for water quality evaluation.

II (Apr. 2015), PP 81-91 www.iosrjournals.org A Preliminary Assessment of Avifaunal Diversity of Nawabganj Bird Sanctuary, Unnao, Uttar Pradesh Adesh Kumar, Amita Kanaujia, Sonika Kushwaha and Akhilesh Kumar Biodiversity & Wildlife Conservation Lab, Department of Zoology, University of Lucknow, Lucknow- 226007 Uttar Pradesh, India Abstract: Avifaunal Diversity is one of the most important ecological indicators to evaluate the status of habitats. Birds are the crucial animal group of an ecosystem which maintains a trophic level. Therefore, detail study on avifauna and their ecology is important to protect them. They are one of the biological control tools to control pests in gardens, on farms, and other places. They abet in the pollinization of plants. Birds are also good seed dispersal.The study was performed in Nawabganj Bird Sanctuary (NBS) during January 2013 to March 2014. NBS covers the 224.60 hectare area and provides breeding grounds to multiple populations of flora and fauna. Surveys were carried out seasonally and observations were made along line transects with the aid of 10x50 binoculars and Canon EOS 1000 D SLR camera. The Avifaunal assessment of NBS includes 150 species of birds belonging to 17 orders and 46 families. The order Passeriformes has maximum 51 species of birds. Purple moorhen and lesser whistling duck are the most abundant residential species in the NBS. Habitat wise classification reveals that 43.33% of birds were dependent on aquatic habitat (65) i.e.

Journal of Applied and Natural Science, 12(4):710 - 720. https://doi.org/10.31018/jans.v12i4.2412 Abstract Biodiversity is not equally distributed across the world. It depends on the type of various habitats and food availability. In these habitats, wetlands play an import role to increase the biodiversity of the particular area. Many studies have focused on various habitats to conserve biodiversity. However, the wetland studies are very few due to the lack of information on their distribution and importance. The present review focusses on the wetland status and their importance in India. India has vibrant and diverse wetland ecosystems that support immense biodiversity. The wetlands are unique habitats which provide ecological, social and economic values. However, rapid urbanization, industrialization and uncontrolled agricultural practices have pressurized to shrink the wetlands in India.

Sandi Bird sanctuary was developed and conserved in the year 1990 as natural biodiversity hub for aquatic vegetation as well as local residents and migratory birds. This Sanctuary has an area of 309 hectares. A study of faunal diversity in Sandi Bird Sanctuary was done during January 2013 to March 2014. Sandi Bird Sanctuary is well known as popular tourist destination because of the diverse assemblage of avifauna especially migratory water birds that congregate at the Sandi Bird Sanctuary in winter. The result includes 3 species of annelids belonging to 3 orders, 10 orders of insects with 61 species, 4 species of mollusks belonging to 3 orders, 11 species of fishes belonging to 5 families, 3 species of amphibians and 15 species of reptiles belonging to 13 families, 157 species of birds, and 12 species of mammals belonging to 09 families from Sandi Bird Sanctuary. The sanctuary is an envoy area of the Indo-gangetic eco-system. Wetland vegetation is also found in the sanctuary. Key words: Sandi Bird Sanctuary, Water birds, Biodiversity Hub, Hardoi, Invertebrates, Vertebrates.
