WWF-India Chennai Office is launching the Biodiversity Monitoring Project – Birds in Focus 2025, a three-month-long initiative inviting volunteers from Chennai to actively monitor and document bird species in their local environment. Volunteers will select an adopted site—a lake, park, college campus, or a wilderness area near their home—and conduct twice-monthly bird surveys from February to April 2025. Their observations will be recorded on eBird, contributing valuable data for bird conservation in Chennai.
