Impact of Chaotic Urbanisation on Bengaluru’S (India) Urban Avian Diversity

Bengaluru is facing the immediate threat of losing most of its native and migrant avian species due to urbanisation. In the current study, the most popular birding regions were identified; followed by the anthropogenic factors responsible for falling numbers of species. Finally, inferences were derived by analyzing the confluence of direct and indirect impacts. The study confirms instability in ecological and physiological factors, and postulates the need to monitor avian diversity, migratory behaviour, population sizes, distribution patterns, and conservation status.
