SAMBHAR SEES HUGE SURGE IN MIGRATORY BIRDS

Why in News
  • India’s largest inland saltwater lake, Sambhar Lake (Rajasthan), has recorded a remarkable 40% increase in migratory bird arrivals this winter compared to last year.
  • The surge coincides with the highest water levels in five decades, creating ideal ecological conditions for waterbirds and flamingos.
ABOUT SAMBHAR LAKE CURRENT OBSERVATION (WINTER 2025-26) KEY DRIVERS OF SURGE
  • Exceptional monsoon rains (2025) replenished the lake basin.
  • High water levels (highest in 50 years) supported abundant algae, plankton, and invertebrates — rich feeding grounds for migratory birds.
  • Improved wetland ecology following reduced industrial discharge during the last season.
MIGRATION & ECOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE CONCERNS: BIRD CASUALTIES REPORTED
  • A few bird deaths and weakness symptoms reported near Khakharki village (Nagaur district side).
  • Rescue operations initiated by the Forest and Animal Husbandry Departments.
  • Samples sent to the Central Avian Research Institute, Bareilly for testing.
Preliminary Suspicions:
  • Avian Botulism — though experts say risk is low this year due to high water levels and minimal stagnation.
