From rare and endangered species fighting for survival to invasive species impacting local ecosystems, Nepal\u2019s avian landscape reflects the dynamic interplay of conservation efforts and environmental challenges.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"446\" data-end=\"897\">With its diverse topography, ranging from the lowland Terai to the towering Himalayas, Nepal serves as a crucial habitat for hundreds of resident and migratory bird species. These include globally threatened birds such as the Bengal Florican, Sarus Crane, and Spiny Babbler\u2014the latter being an endemic species found only in Nepal. Meanwhile, invasive bird species are also making their mark, raising concerns about their impact on native ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"899\" data-end=\"1242\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">This collection of recent bird sightings captures the vibrant and delicate balance of Nepal\u2019s avian diversity.
