Nakti Dam Wildlife Sanctuary
Nakti Dam Wildlife Sanctuary in Jamui district, Bihar, is a protected wetland area spanning about 3.3 square kilometers. It was developed primarily for irrigation after the construction of the Nakti Dam in 1983, which created a man-made reservoir surrounded by hills and dry deciduous forest.
The sanctuary provides important habitat for over 150 species, including local and migratory birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, and amphibians. It is especially valued for its role as a wintering spot where more than 20,000 birds gather, including significant populations of migratory species like the red-crested pochard. Besides birds, the sanctuary supports endangered animals such as the Indian elephant and vulnerable native fish species.
The wetland plays a dual role in supporting both wildlife conservation and the water needs of local agriculture and communities. It was designated a bird sanctuary in 1984 and is recognized as an important site for birdwatching and ecological preservation.
