This time, a unique and worrying sight is being witnessed in the desert regions of Rajasthan. The international situation, especially the growing tensions between Iran and Israel, is now having an impact on the bird world. For the first time, such a large number of migratory eagles have arrived in Rajasthan, raising questions about both the environment and health.
Record number of eagles in Bikaner's Jodbid
Around 2,200 steppe eagles have been sighted in the Jodabid area of Rajasthan's Bikaner district this year. This number is nearly double compared to previous years, when only about 1,200 eagles used to visit the area.
Experts believe that this sudden increase is not normal and international circumstances may be responsible for it.
Why are these steppe eagles special?
The Steppe Eagle is a rare and protected migratory bird, which usually migrates to India during winter from Central Asia and Russia.
This bird is capable of covering long distances.
Plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance
Internationally listed as a conservation
What is the connection between Iran and Israel tensions?
According to experts, the natural migration routes of these birds have been affected due to war-like conditions in the Iran region.
War and explosions have destabilized the environment.
Food and safe havens were scarce.
The birds changed their route and headed towards India
Due to this, the open desert areas of Rajasthan became a safe option for these birds.
Why did the risk of diseases increase?
The arrival of such a large number of birds together has also increased the risk of spread of infections and diseases .
Bird feces can spread the infection.
Other local birds and animals may be affected
There is a risk that the disease could spread to humans as well.
The Forest Department and Animal Husbandry Department have started monitoring this situation.
Administration and expert supervision
Teams of local administration and forest department are continuously monitoring these birds.
Health check-up and sampling are being done
Consideration on limiting the movement of common people in the area
Measures are being taken to conserve and protect birds
Warning for the environment
This phenomenon is not just a natural change, but is also being considered a sign of a global crisis .
Experts say that if war and environmental imbalance continue, such changes may be seen more in the future.
The simultaneous arrival of thousands of eagles in Bikaner is a remarkable natural spectacle, but it also serves as a serious warning. International conflicts are no longer confined to borders; their impact on the environment and wildlife is also clearly visible.
This desert area of Rajasthan is currently a shelter for these migratory guests, but the danger associated with it cannot be ignored.
