Walk on the Creek Side

 

The Campal Creek at first sight looks nothing but a sewage canal and is often referred to as a nullah by all, but if you slow down a bit and step off on its wild side to discover mangroves, fish, frogs, mongoose, dragonflies, butterflies and a variety of birds still surviving despite the mess that we have created by dumping garbage, plastic, thermacol, waste water and even sewage, you’ll understand why it needs to be cleaned, revitalized and allowed to breathe again. We and Goa Birders- a GBCN (Goa Bird Conservation Network) initiative, is organizing a bird watching session along the Campal Creek to raise awareness about the condition of the creek, by showing to all, that despite the high levels of pollution in the creek, there is a very high level of diversity of birds along the banks of the water way.

Goa ForGiving has been strongly associated with the Campal Creek for the last few years. We are always in support of projects that benefit the Campal Creek and help in spreading its awareness. The Campal Creek has been a natural habitat to a variety of bird species. It is essential to make people, most importantly the children, aware of the same as they are our future generation and hence, Goa ForGiving is very proud to support and to be associated with this event.

The Bird watching session will consist of a bird watching trail,educating the participants about the birds and the importance of the Creek for them, besides consisting of a session on using e-bird (an online avian data repository system of Cornell University promoted in India by birdcount.in) for advanced birders. We encourage children to participate in this, and they will definitely learn a lot and also enjoy themselves. Joining us on that day will be members of Goa Birders led Parag Rangnekar (State Coordinator of BNHS IBCN- Goa) as well as the Hamara School children who have been associated with Goa ForGiving in many other projects in the past.

Do join us on 1st June (Sunday) at 6.30 am and be thrilled with the diversity of birds right in the heart of our beloved Panaji. The start point will be at Directorate of Fire & Emergency Service, St. Inez.

Goa Birders- a GBCN initiative is also working on ‘’A concise guide to BIRDING IN GOA”, an e-booklet which will be available for free download at www.birdsofgoa.org and they will launch a qualitative data repository system(audio/image/video) by August.
