Wetland Watch 2023

organizing “Wetland Watch 2023” from May 19th to 21st, 2023, which aims to
provide a comprehensive understanding of the wetland ecosystem and the
associated wildlife. It is a citizen science event, where people from
different backgrounds come together to estimate the population of
Crocodiles and Sarus Cranes in Charotar. Charotar region, which consists of
parts of Anand and Kheda Districts in Gujarat, is known for its crocodiles,
but not many know that it is also home to one of the largest populations of
Sarus cranes, in addition to other various wetland birds and raptors.
Wetland Watch is designed to give an opportunity to comprehend the ecology
of a wetland ecosystem and the associated species such as crocodiles, Sarus
cranes, and other species, as well as receive hands-on training on research
methods, conservation strategies, and tools and techniques for monitoring
wetland fauna.
