ABSTRACT

Conservation of species in a specific habitat and landscape including protected areas begins with a better understanding of the species available within their geographical stretch. The knowledge on species richness of any area enhances understanding of the distribution of species and their habitat preferences, hence bridging research gaps in geographical occurrences of species. Earlier 142 species were recorded in pioneering study while 9 species were added to the checklist by various published literatures. This article presents an addition of Twenty-Two species to the avian diversity of the Todgarh-Raoli Wildlife Sanctuary (T-RWLS), Rajasthan.

Keywords: Avifauna, Forest, Aravalli, Todgarh-Raoli, Rajasthan.
