| Abstract: In Rajasthan's Dholpur district, Nibhi Pond is a significant freshwater wetland that is home to a wide variety of birds. Through methodical field surveys, the current study evaluated the wetlands conservation significance, residential status, and bird species diversity. During the study period, 123 Bird species belonging to 44 families and 18 orders were recorded. Passeriformes was the dominant order with 47 species, followed by Columbiformes and Charadriiformes. The presence of ducks, waders, raptors, and passerines in the assemblage demonstrated the pond ecosystem's ecological productivity and habitat variability. According to the IUCN Red List, a number of the species found there are classified as Near Threatened or Endangered, underscoring the site's importance for conservation. Most species (98.1%) were categorized as Least Concern, while one Near Threatened species was documented. However, avifaunal varieties may be threatened by growing human pressure like resource exploitation and habitat disruption. In order to the long-term viability of Nibhi Pond and its bird diversity, the study highlights the necessity of routine monitoring, habitat preservation, and community-based conservation tactics. |
