Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study shows the bird conservation approaches, number and diversity of birds species in Pochamaria village of Rajshahi district. This study described the local and migratory bird’s species and their identifying number, availability in the study area, their status and how the local people maintain conservation procedure. Socio-economic condition of the study area, were also studied in relation to bird’s conservation.

Keywords: Bird species, Conservation, Pochamaria, Rajshahi, Bangladesh

Location: Pochamaria village of Rajshahi district

Start Date: 00-01-2007

End Date: 31-12-2009

Program Area: Conservation and Biodiversity

Commodity: Poultry

Objectives:

1. To show the bird conservation approaches, number and diversity of birds species.

Methodology:

Pochamaria is situated in the Barind tract approximately 200 kilometers northwest of Dhaka and 35 kilometers northeast of Rajshahi district. Puthia upazila town is approximately 17 kilometers in the south of this village. International boundary (with India) is also about 28 kilometers to the south. Pachamaria lies between 88⁰ and 52⁰72' of east longitude and 24⁰ and 29⁰01' of north latitude and has an area of approximately 500 acre measures have been implemented to ensure safety of bird species around the world. Primary data collected by the several procedure likes- household survey, field visit, mapping, photograph and group discussion during 2007-2009. Population census 2001 and district series (Rajshahi) 2001 were sourced for demographic and socio-economic information. Information on the number of birds, their habitat and nature has been collected from Pochamaria Bird Sanctuary. Three years (2007, 2008 and 2010) survey program was conducted for field data collection. Due to the time and resource constraints, a key informant survey with community representatives was implemented to collect information on demography livelihood status, present agriculture practice and other social issues of Pochamaria as well as identifying vegetation coverage and type of vegetation roost sites (habitat), ownership of roosting tress and land parcel etc. list of key information including their occupation are listed in the study.

Achievement/Findings:

This work is a foundation for the establishment of a complete ‘Bird Sanctuary’ of modern approach. A comprehensive biological data including genetic intervention on bird population and their habitat is still a subject of further study. To determine appropriate management strategies in future, more research and wildlife surveys have to be carried out in this area. Nevertheless it will not be exaggeration to say that the work has opened up the rout to overcome the entire future problem in this enterprise.
