#Chari_dhand #Bird_sanctuary #Flamingo A calm shallow depression, bustling with migratory bird population is quite a paradise for all ornithologists and adventure seekers.Many water birds like Pelicans, Siberian ducks, Saras cranes and greater flamingoes are a common place. You will hardly ever find knee deep water in this waterbody which was destined to be a Bird sanctuary, however after 2002 it was found out that the location is supporting the pastoral population as well. Keeping in mind the local population needs and the requirement to safeguard this heaven , it has been declared a Wetland Conservation Reserve.

Narayan Sarovar and Wildlife Sanctuary |Kutch Yatra
Narayan Sarovar Lake is one of the 5 holy lakes of Hinduism, along with Mansarovar in Tibet, Pampa in Karnataka, Bhuvaneshwar in Orissa and Pushkar in Rajasthan. The lake is associated with a time of drought in the Puranic area, when Narayan (a form of Lord Vishnu) appeared in response to the fervent prayers of sages and touched the land with his toe, creating the lake, now revered as holy to bathe in
Narayan Sarovar Sanctuary also popularly known as Narayan Sarovar Wildlife Sanctuary or Narayan Sarovar Chinkara Sanctuary. Narayan Sarovar is home to a wide array of wildlife, including many species (15 of which are considered threatened) of mammals, reptiles, and birds. The principle species here is the chinkara, an Indian gazelle. In this harsh landscape, only animals well-adapted to the desert climate can thrive, with extreme heat, high winds, and frequent storms. For this reason, many species can be seen here that are not easy to find elsewhere.
Kutch Rann Utsav * Strategic Gujrat.
The Great Rann of Kutch, is a seasonal salt marsh located in the Thar Desert in the Kutch District of Gujarat, India and the Sindh province of Pakistan. It is about 7,505.22 square kilometres (2,897.78 sq mi) in size and is reputed to be the largest salt desert in the world. This area has been inhabited by the Kutchi people.
The name Rann comes from the Hindi word ran (रण) meaning desert. The Hindi word is derived from Sanskrit/Vedic word iriṇa (इरिण) attested in the Rigveda and Mahābhārata.
The Great Rann of Kutch, along with the Little Rann of Kutch and the Banni grasslands on its southern edge, is situated in the district of Kutch and comprises some 30,000 square kilometres (10,000 sq mi) between the Gulf of Kutch and the mouth of the Indus River in southern Pakistan. The marsh can be accessed from the village of Kharaghoda in Surendranagar District.
There are several wildlife sanctuaries and protected reserves on the Indian side in the Rann of Kutch region. From the city of Bhuj, various ecologically rich and wildlife conservation areas of the Kutch/Kachchh district can be visited such as Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary, Kutch Desert Wildlife Sanctuary, Narayan Sarovar Sanctuary, Kutch Bustard Sanctuary, Banni Grasslands Reserve and Chari-Dhand Wetland Conservation Reserve.
In India the northern boundary of the Greater Rann of Kutch forms the International Border between India and Pakistan, it is heavily patrolled by India's Border Security Force (BSF) and Indian Army conducts exercises here to acclimatize its troops to this harsh terrain.
This inhospitable salty lowland, rich in natural gas, was one scene of perennial border disputes between India and Pakistan that, in April 1965, contributed to the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. Later the same year, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Harold Wilson persuaded the combatants to end hostilities and establish a tribunal to resolve the dispute. A verdict was reached in 1968 which saw Pakistan getting 10% of its claim of 9,100 square kilometres (3,500 sq mi). 90% was awarded to India, although India claimed 100% of the region. Tensions spurted again in 1999 during the Atlantique Incident.

The downing of the Pakistani aircraft came at a particularly bad juncture for the Pakistani prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, who was already under attack from politicians for ordering a withdrawal of its troops from Kargil.Two months later, he was deposed in a bloodless coup d'état by Gen. Pervez Musharraf.
Economic reasons:
Though the creek has little military value, it holds immense economic gain. Much of the region is rich in oil and gas below the sea bed, and control over the creek would have a huge bearing on the energy potential of each nation. Also once the boundaries are defined, it would help in the determination of the maritime boundaries which are drawn as an extension of onshore reference points. Maritime boundaries also help in determining the limits of Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) and continental shelves. EEZs extend to 200 nautical miles (370 km) and can be subjected to commercial exploitation.

The Great Indian Bustard
Great Indian Bustard Song (Ghorad Kare Che Yaad..)
This video-song has been produced by Kutch Ecological Research Centre (KERC), a division of The Corbett Foundation, to make people aware about the Great Indian Bustard (GIB), a bird-species on the verge of extinction. KERC runs a Save Great Indian Bustard Campaign for the conservation of the GIB in Abdasa taluka of Kutch district in the State of Gujarat. Abdasa taluka is the last remaining refuge of this critically endangered species in the State. GIB has been wiped out from other districts of Gujarat.
Less than 300 Great Indian Bustards are surviving on the earth. Presence of such a rare species in Kutch district is a matter of pride for the district and Gujarat State as well. The song emphasizes on the ecological importance of this species in our life.
This is the Last Call to Save this Species from Extinction. Please join us in saving this species.
Share this video with your friends. Very soon, we'll upload this video with its English sub-titles as well.
Thanks you!

Great Indian Bustard Bird Sanctuary Nannaj Savanna Solapur महाराष्ट्र
Nannaj is a small town near Solapur. This typical small town in Maharashtra is different from the countless other villages that dot the countryside because of the presence of certain rare inhabitants in its surroundings. Nannaj is home to the Great Indian Bustard (GIB) sanctuary. For those of you who are not really aware about the Great Indian Bustard (Maldhok - in native tongue), it is one of the largest birds in India and by far one of the most endangered. There are about 350 GIB's surviving in India and around 25 of them are found in Nannaj. The Bustard though is not the only reason for one to visit this enchanting place. Nannaj presents a very unique landscape, more resembling the plains of African Savanna than the typical tropical forests of India. For those of us quite used to visiting the various tiger reserves, this is going to be a complete surprise. The landscape is devoid of huge thick trees and dense forests, it is a sanctuary which is covered with scrubland and the animals and birds have adapted themselves accordingly. Nannaj does not receive very much of rainfall and that probably is one of the key reasons why the landscape is as it is.The open plains are home to one of the world's most graceful antelopes - the Blackbuck. Nannaj has a very healthy population of blackbucks and watching them go about their lives is a treat to the eyes. Where there's prey, there will be predators and Nannaj has its share of predators in the form of Raptors, Wolves and fox. Now, it's not common to get a chance to see a wolf in India and any chance one gets to see one, should be grabbed with both hands. Wolves, for centuries have been creatures of myth and mysteries. Their population in India, as that of several other majestic beasts is dwindling by the days and to see them in the wild is truly magnificent.( From with Thanks)
GREAT INDIAN BUSTARD IN THEIR PLAYGROUND
Seeing a Great Indian Bustard is absolutely a matter of luck and we manage to see 8 in our 3 days tour. Officials says roughly 200 left in wild but actual population will not be more than 100 as per some reports . We saw them from distance and couldn't resist myself from capturing video of this majestic critically endangered Bird.
Once in the running to become India’s national bird, the great Indian bustard (GIB) is now fluttering for survival. Its revival looks near impossible.
However, in 2018, the bird’s future is in peril. Its population has been on a continuous decline from an estimated 1,260 in 1969 to 300 in 2008 recording a decline of about 75 percent.
