Deciduous forests, swampy marshes, estuaries and lagoons shelter unique forms of
plant and animal life.

animals, but birds too. Usually when people visit the wildlife sanctuaries, they
miss out the avifauna of that wild hub, because the major scene stealers of any
wildlife are predators like Tigers and Leopards. Still, if you ever get a chance

Himalayan region. A boat cruise from Boothathenkeru to Thattekad is an
unforgettable birding experience through the evergreen forests nesting migratory
and indigenous birds.

park in India supports several variety of species, even if they are popular
about a particular animal or is a protected wildlife reserve, such as the the
Project Tiger Reserves in India.

authorities of forests preservation societies, started of a new kind of
awareness programme, which will educate the people about nature and its
preservation in a better way and that's how, wild camps came into being. Among
