Chief of the National Trust for Conservation of Nature Koshi Conservation Centre, Birendra Gautam said that the number of birds visiting the wetlands will increase with arrangement of safe habitats, adequate food, conservation of wetlands and reducing human movement.

Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve located in Sunsari, Saptari and Udayapur has become the prime habitat of birds.
