Statistical Analysis and Habitat Suitability of Sarus Birds in Uttar Pradesh using GIS Based Species Distribution Model

Researchers now have greater access to data regarding the habits and adaptations of migrating birds because of technological advancements. The pace of technological growth, in terms of both data collection and its ability to support conservation efforts, is incredible. However, it is still uncertain whether birds will be able to evolve speedily enough to withstand the environmental changes.
