Protecting the Vulnerable National Bird - The Plight of Peacocks in Banigochha In the serene wilderness of Banigochha, under the #Nayagarh #RiverWilderness Bankhand, a vulnerable species faces multiple threats. The majestic #peacock, the #nationalbird, suffers from various challenges, including loss of life on national highways and the relentless pursuit of poachers. #Habitat_and_Movement: Situated amidst the Satpuri hills and golden hills, the area is known for the constant movement of hundreds of peacocks. Their calls resonate along the national highway of Khurda Balangir, attracting attention from passersby. During paddy harvesting, these beautiful creatures venture into nearby fields to feast on the crops. Lack of Protection: Despite being the national bird, peacocks in this region lack adequate protection. The riverine wildlife Bankhand has not implemented any specific measures to safeguard these birds, leaving them vulnerable to threats. Unfortunately, peacocks often fall victim to poachers and road accidents on national highways, further endangering their population. #nknewsodisha
