Project Description
Kumaraguru Institutions actively took part in Campus Bird Count 2024, held from February 16 to 19, 2024, as part of the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC). The event featured eight guided bird walks across the 160-acre campus, engaging over 50 enthusiastic students and nature lovers.
Expert bird watchers from organizations such as the Coimbatore Nature Society, Uzhavan Foundation, and BOSCH led the walks, helping participants identify and document the rich avian diversity within the campus. Through interactive sessions, students learned about bird species, their habitats, migration patterns, and the importance of conservation.
With its diverse green spaces, Kumaraguru serves as a thriving habitat for birds, making it an ideal location for birdwatching and ecological studies. The initiative not only enhanced biodiversity awareness among students but also contributed valuable data to national bird monitoring efforts.
