Efforts underway to declare Jagadishpur lake as country’s second bird sanctuary

Lake is home to 167 bird species found in Nepal and over 15,000 migratory birds that arrive from as far away as Siberia, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan to winter.

If everything goes as planned, the picturesque Jagadishpur lake, a Ramsar wetland site in Kapilvastu district, will soon be declared Nepal’s second bird sanctuary.
