Pulicat Lake Bird Sanctuary
Pulicat Lake Bird Sanctuary, located in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh and extending into Tamil Nadu, is India's second-largest brackish-water ecosystem, covering about 759 square kilometers. It serves as a vital habitat for over 200 bird species, including large gatherings of migratory birds like flamingos, pelicans, storks, herons, and ducks, especially during winter months.
The sanctuary features a unique shallow lagoon separated from the Bay of Bengal by the Sriharikota barrier island, which is renowned for the Satish Dhawan Space Centre. This ecological hotspot supports a rich variety of aquatic life and flora, including mangroves and dry evergreen forests, and is crucial for local communities who depend on the lake for their livelihoods.
Pulicat also hosts important birding festivals and remains a key site for biodiversity conservation on India’s east coast.
