Siliguri (West Bengal) [India], February 22 (ANI): The four-day long Mahananda Bird Festival kicked off at Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary in Sukna on Saturday evening aiming to create awareness about the different species of birds in the region and their documentation.
Around 18 birdwatchers, seven ornithologists, representatives of organisations which work for wildlife conservation and forest department officials attended the festival. The purpose of the festival is to record the diverse species of birds, document biodiversity, and create public awareness. Different avian species are found there and the sanctuary houses a wide range of birds. More than 250 avian species are found here.
