Uttar Pradesh, ecosystems, migratory birds, National Park, worldwide climate shifts.Abstract
Uttar Pradesh, with its diverse wetland ecosystems, serves as an essential wintering ground for various migratory birds. Thousands of kilometers separate breeding territories from the winter destinations that migratory birds travel to find both food sources and suitable breeding locations. The manuscript examines the wide range of migratory birds commonly found in Uttar Pradesh throughout their journeys as well as their environmental importance together with their protection strategies and endangering factors. The importance of wetlands including Keoladeo National Park (Bharatpur) together with Sur Sarovar and Dudhwa National Park is explained for promoting bird biodiversity. The study includes extensive research on how birds travel and the environmental influence of worldwide climate shifts on bird communities.
