Birds are very vital to ecosystems and we rely on them for pest control, maintaining habitats, and pollinating plants. The diversity and variety of birds found in almost every habitat on earth is a scientific marvel. Birds makes big contributions across habitats, and they are crucial for people and the planet to thrive. When avian species are lost, their particular functions and benefits disappear too and holding onto the Bird diversity of the Western Ghats is of paramount importance, and the need of the hour is to protect its Habitat and stop human interference and unscientific developments in Eco sensitive areas, stated a recent press release from the President of CWS.
