Avian Diversity in Paddy Ecosystems in India

This article explores the importance of birds in India’s paddy ecosystems and how they contribute to biodiversity, ecological balance, and sustainable agriculture. Drawing from field observations and research, the article highlights the role of birds in natural pest control, seed dispersal, and maintaining healthy wetland ecosystems, while also examining the impacts of pesticide-intensive farming and habitat loss on avian diversity. It forms part of PANAP’s biodiversity series promoting agroecology and biodiversity conservation as pathways toward resilient and sustainable food systems.
