Dear all,
Purna Wildlife Sanctuary was declared in July, 1990 in order to protect the
forest in northern part of the Dangs district in South Gujarat. Purna WLS
preserves one of the last remaining patches of moist deciduous forest in
the Western Ghats of Gujarat and supports a gamut of flora and fauna of
very high evolutionary value.
For an eco-tourist wanting to enjoy birds of moist deciduous forest mixed
with bamboo, this is the best place to visit. The sanctuary is home to more
than 150 species of birds including Crimson Sunbird, Indian Paradise
Fly-catcher, Lesser Golden-back Woodpecker, Racket-tailed Drongo, Minivets,
King-fishers, Leaf birds etc. Western-Ghat bird species like Malabar Trogon
and other winter migrants like Warblers and Fly-catchers are a common sight
here. The recent sightings of the Critically Endangered Forest Owlet from
Purna WLS have enhanced the ecological value of this area.
With an aim to promote the area as an Important Birding Destination, Dangs
Bird Festival is organised by North Division Forest Department, Ahwa in
collaboration with Eco-tourism Development Society, Savardakasad.
Last date of registration is 5th feb.
Date of event is 9th – 11th feb, 2018
