IN a groundbreaking move to enhance avian habitats, the research wing of Uttarakhand's forest department is embarking on an ambitious plan to cultivate tree, shrub and vine species favoured by birds for feeding. "This initiative marks a significant step forward in our commitment to biodiversity and conservation," said a spokesperson from the forest department.

The programme will specifically target the hilly regions of the state and is being integrated into the department's 10-year action plan for the first time. According to sources, the Uttarakhand Forest Research Wing has initiated a comprehensive study to identify which birds depend on specific trees, vines and shrubs for food.
