It is described in local listings as a park area\, but in the larger Assam context the flora would include wetland patches\, secondary forests\, and possibly agro-forest interfaces.Assam’s birding habitats are rich in wetlands\, floodplains\, river systems\, riparian forests\, tea gardens\, swamp forests\, and marshes.The site may host waterbirds\, herons\, egrets\, kingfishers\, and edge forest species. \n \n \n \n The main threats here would likely be urban expansion\, pollution\, water extraction\, invasive aquatic weeds\, and habitat loss from development or drainage. Conservation measures would ideally include protection of water bodies\, restoration of riparian zones\, control of pollution and sewage\, engagement of local communities in habitat maintenance\, and possibly integrating the area into larger wetland or reserve systems. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Partnered with \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide: Rahul SaikiaNature enthusiast and avid birder with 1 year of experience exploring and learning about birds.
