Vanlalnghaka C and Beihrosa Solo
The study on avian diversity at Govt. Serchhip College was conducted from January to December 2024, documenting the presence of both resident and migratory bird species that contribute to the region's ecological balance and biodiversity. A total of 40 bird species were recorded, with their local names (Mizo), common names (English), scientific classifications, and conservation statuses based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The findings emphasize the significance of preserving natural habitats to support avian diversity. Notably, all documented species are classified as "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List, indicating stable populations. However, ongoing monitoring remains crucial to mitigate potential threats such as habitat loss, climate change, and human disturbances.
