Avifauna

Avifauna refers to the bird species present in a specific region or habitat. It encompasses all the birds that inhabit an area, whether they are native, migratory, or introduced. Understanding avifauna is important for biodiversity studies, conservation efforts, and ecosystem health, as birds play crucial roles as pollinators, seed dispersers, and indicators of environmental change. Scientists and birdwatchers often study avifauna to monitor species populations, behavior, and habitat requirements, which can inform environmental policies and conservation strategies to protect bird species and their habitats.
