Human elephat conflict issues in coimbatore Forest Division,Southern India.

Abstract :

Bird species richness, abundance, density and seasonality were assessed in different seasons in the Vembanad-Kole Ramsar site, India. Observations were made from November 1998 through October 2001. The species richness and abundance of birds was highest in the dry season of 2000 (120) and lowest in the wet-I season of 1999 (46). Diversity index (H') was highest in the dry season of 2000 (3.19), followed by the dry season of 2001 (2.89). The species richness was Highest in the migratory season of the third year (2000-2001) (127) followed by second year (1999-2000) (119). The highest abundance was in the migratory season of the third year (2000-2001) (1,88,006) and lowest in the migratory season of the first year (1998-1999) (19,350). Significant negative correlations were found between the rainfall, water depth and the bird community parameters. The highest number of birds was recorded during the replanting season and sowing period of paddy. Significant negative correlation was also obtained between the paddy height and the abundance of birds (r=-0.7898; P<0.01; n = 8). During the migratory season, the Vembanad-Kole wetlands supported more waders than the other wetlands of Kerala in terms of species richness and abundance of birds. The area served many avian species for a wide variety of purposes such as nesting, roosting and wintering ground. The present study showed that the Vembanad-Kole wetlands are one of the important regions in Kerala for winter visitors.
