Birds And Bio-diversity

Nepal, a country rich in biodiversity, provides sanctuary for many migratory bird species. Small yet ecologically varied, this country provides a crucial stopover sites for various migratory birds from Siberia, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, China and Mongolia to escape the harsh winter there and hatch their fledglings. The presence of these birds boosts Nepal's ecological diversity and attracts significant numbers of tourists, and the country can generate substantial revenue by developing and promoting bird watching and giving a retreat to bird enthusiasts, researchers and conservationists.
