Forest Department Partnership

Strategic Partnership Overview

Naturepix has forged a crucial partnership with the Karnataka Forest Department to address the alarming decline of migratory bird populations in the Mysore region through comprehensive data sharing and collaborative research initiatives. This partnership represents a significant step toward evidence-based conservation policy, combining field expertise with governmental conservation authority to tackle the biodiversity crisis affecting the region.

Data Contribution and Documentation

As part of this collaborative framework, Naturepix provides the Forest Department with meticulously documented evidence of environmental and climate change impacts on migratory bird populations. The organization's 17-year database of over 250 bird species documented in the Mysore area serves as a critical baseline for understanding population trends and migration pattern changes.

Species Documentation and Population Monitoring

Naturepix delivers comprehensive photographic and behavioral documentation showing the dramatic decline in migratory bird arrivals. This includes temporal mapping of species presence, breeding behavior observations, and detailed habitat utilization patterns that demonstrate the direct correlation between environmental degradation and species disappearance.

Climate Impact Assessment

The partnership provides the Forest Department with detailed analysis of how changing precipitation patterns, temperature fluctuations, and extreme weather events have disrupted traditional migration corridors. This data includes documentation of altered breeding cycles, shifted arrival and departure times, and evidence of species abandoning historically reliable roosting and feeding sites.

Habitat Loss Documentation

Through extensive field surveys and photographic evidence, Naturepix contributes critical information about wetland destruction, agricultural landscape transformation, and urban encroachment that has eliminated essential stopover habitats. This documentation provides the Forest Department with concrete evidence needed for habitat protection and restoration initiatives.
