According to a study by Researchers from Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, the water quality at the Point Calimere Wildlife Sanctuary might be unsafe for avifauna to feed and breed. They compared their results with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) standards to reach this conclusion.
About:
The wildlife sanctuary is located along the Palk Strait where it meets the Bay of Bengal at Point Calimere in Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu.
It spreads across an area of 30 sq.km and comprises sandy coastal, saline swamps and thorn scrub forests around the backwater. It is famous for large congregations of waterbirds, especially greater flamingos.
The sanctuary was created in 1967 for conservation of the near threatened blackbuck antelope.
