Abstract

Wetland restoration plays a crucial role in biodiversity conservation, particularly in semi-arid landscapes. The present study documents the avifaunal diversity of Kanwas Pakshi Vihar Wetland (Gopalpura Pakshi vihar), Kota district, Rajasthan, which represents a successfully restored wetland ecosystem. Post-restoration surveys recorded 91 bird species dominated by wetland-dependent taxa, indicating improved habitat quality.
