  • In a first for the State, Govindpur in Ambabhona block of Bargarh district has declared itself a ‘Birds Village’ so as to provide a safer haven to winged visitors during their breeding as well as migration periods.Under supervision and guidance of Hirakud wildlife division, the villagers have joined hands to keep Govidnpur pollution-free for the birds and protect them from predators as well as prying eyes.
    Work on the village started on Friday. Two more villages - Tamdei and Ramkhol - have now pledged to join hands for conservation of birds, and will also be developed into ‘Birds Villages’ in the next phase. Govindpur comes under Lakhanpur wildlife range.Every year, over 2 lakh birds of around 100 different species migrate to the reservoir, spread over an area of 746 sq km, in October for breeding and stay put for six months before flying back.
    During the period, tourists from Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand along with nearby districts of Jharsuguda, Bolangir, Sonepur as well as locals of Sambalpur and Bargarh visit the three villages located near Hirakud reservoir, the largest artificial lake of Odisha, for bird watching along with picnic and boating. Photographers too throng the area for clicking pictures of temples submerged in Hirakud and wildlife of Debrigarh.
