Journal Title: International Journal of Zoology and Animal Biology - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 01
Abstract
Biodiversity conservation and climate change are most important contemporary issues. There is a pressing need to tackle these issues with utmost sincerity by biologists, nature conservanists, developmental agencies, religions clergies as well as politicians; otherwise with depleting biodiversity, that also impacts climate changes to larger extent, the mankind would jeopardize its own existence on this planet. Despite rapid decline and deterioration of their prime habitats, the avian diversity in India is quite rich. In this editorial note an overview of Indian ornithology is given in a view to priortise their conservion prospects.
