Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary

Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary is a protected wetland in the Jamnagar district of Gujarat, on India's western coast along the Gulf of Kutch. It is one of the state's most important bird areas, recognized internationally as a Ramsar site for its combination of freshwater lakes, salt marshes, and tidal mangrove creeks all within a single compact landscape. What makes Khijadiya unusual is its sharp ecological contrast. Freshwater fed by the Ruparel River and seasonal rains sits beside saltwater creeks linked to the Gulf of Kutch, with a bund separating the two systems. This produces a mosaic of inland vegetation, wetland marshes, and coastal mangrove habitat that supports a dense and varied bird community, including both resident species and large numbers of migratory waterfowl and shorebirds. The sanctuary also sits within a broader coastal ecosystem that includes the coral reef environment of nearby Narara Island, giving it added significance as a biodiversity-rich zone where freshwater, marine, and estuarine influences converge.
