Uttarakhand inaugurated its first bird gallery at the Nature Education Centre in Dehradun. The gallery features high-resolution photographs of over 710 bird species found in the state, representing more than 50% of the bird species in India. This initiative aims to promote bird conservation and raise awareness about the state's rich avian biodiversity. The Monal, declared the state bird when Uttarakhand became a state in 2000, underscores the region's commitment to preserving its natural heritage.
