摘要:Sultanpur National Park is preparing for an advanced bird census next month, coinciding with the peak arrival of migratory species
Sultanpur National Park is preparing for an advanced bird census next month, coinciding with the peak arrival of migratory species. To enhance both accuracy and coverage, the Haryana Wildlife Department will deploy drones alongside cameras installed on four strategically placed watch towers. This integration of technology marks a significant upgrade from past short-term counts, allowing for continuous, comprehensive data collection.
Sultanpur 国家公园计划在下个月开展高级鸟类普查,正值候鸟到达高峰期。为了提高普查的精确度和覆盖率,哈里亚纳野生动物管理部门将在四座战略观测塔上安装摄像头,同时使用无人机对保护区进行巡查。这一技术整合标志着普查从以往短时统计升级为持续、全面的数据收集。
The park hosts over 250 bird species, including more than 100 migratory ones, making it a critical wintering site. Previously, bird counts were brief, often lasting only a few hours or a single day, yielding limited ecological insights. With drones, officials can monitor birds in near real-time, capturing elusive flocks, tracking arrivals and departures, and observing habitat use across water and forest zones.
公园共有超过 250 种鸟类,其中超过 100 种为候鸟,是冬季重要栖息地。以往普查通常只持续几个小时或一天,提供的生态信息有限。使用无人机后,管理人员能够近乎实时监测鸟群,捕捉难以发现的鸟群,跟踪到离情况,并观察水域与森林区的栖息使用情况。
Chief Conservator Subhash Yadav emphasized the importance of modern technology: “Cameras and drones don’t blink. They capture patterns and changes we might miss. This census is designed to understand population trends, species distribution, and migration patterns.”
南哈里亚纳州首席野生动物保护官 Subhash Yadav 强调现代技术的重要性:“摄像头和无人机不会眨眼,它们能捕捉到我们可能错过的规律和变化。这次普查的目标是了解鸟类数量趋势、物种分布以及迁徙规律。”
Bird expert Pankaj Gupta, who has previously led bird surveys at Sultanpur, highlighted that drones and cameras help detect shifts in migration patterns and early signs of environmental stress, enabling timely management interventions. “The park’s mix of wetlands and forests attracts birds year after year. Technology allows us to see subtle changes and respond before it’s too late,” he said.
鸟类专家 Pankaj Gupta 曾主持 Sultanpur 的鸟类调查,他指出无人机和摄像头可以帮助及时发现迁徙模式的变化以及环境压力的早期迹象,从而及时采取管理措施。“公园的湿地与森林混合环境每年都吸引大量鸟类。科技可以让我们发现微小变化,并在为时未晚前采取行动。”
The October census will track year-on-year shifts in both species and numbers, highlighting rare or threatened birds such as pintails, bar-headed geese, spoonbills, storks, and eagles. Beyond counting, drones also assist in habitat management, helping authorities optimize water levels, monitor vegetation health, and guide visitor access without disturbing wildlife.
10 月的普查将追踪物种和数量的年度变化,快速发现稀有或受威胁物种,如黑尾鸭、白额雁、琵鹭、鹳和鹰等。除了统计,无人机还将辅助栖息地管理,帮助管理部门优化水位、监测植被健康,并在不干扰野生动物的情况下指导游客活动。
In recent years, the Asian Waterbird Census has shown fluctuations: 2,593 migratory birds from 48 species were recorded in 2025, slightly down from 2024 but significantly lower than 2023. Experts attribute this to delayed monsoons, late winters, shrinking wetlands, and human disturbances—all factors that make continuous monitoring essential.
近年来,亚洲水鸟普查显示鸟类数量波动:2025 年记录了 48 个物种、2,593 只候鸟,略低于 2024 年,但远低于 2023 年的记录。专家指出,季风延迟、冬季推迟、湿地面积缩小以及人类干扰都在影响鸟类迁徙模式,这使得持续监测尤为重要。
By leveraging drone technology, Sultanpur National Park demonstrates how modern tools can improve biodiversity protection, provide actionable data for conservation strategies, and support proactive ecosystem management—ensuring that both wildlife and human communities benefit from sustainable natural habitats.
通过应用无人机技术,Sultanpur 国家公园展示了现代工具如何提升生物多样性保护,为生态管理提供可操作数据,并支持主动的生态管理,确保野生动植物及依赖自然栖息地的人类社区都能受益。
