Alan D · Feb 9th, 2005, 17:08

As a frequent visitor to this internationally important wetland reserve ,I would appeal to all others on the forum who have visited and enjoyed the diversity of its birdlife, and those who are just interested in preserving India's wildlife generally, to take a couple of minutes and log on to this site, posted by our member pkalra.

Sometimes it loads - sometimes it doesn't! I think the problem is at their end.

Both links are working at this moment.

If anyone is interested in sending this petition to the people who have the power to do something about the situation at Bharatpur, please keep trying!

I had put in my comments and the contact details...and hope that someone reads it.

In most online petitions that the site shows the comments of all those who signed..this one works differently

Hi
I had been to Bharathpur last Sunday(27th Feb),really bad shape,no water,hardly any birds there.Without water am afraid next year we can only see " Keoladeo National Park at Bharatpur " in tourist map.

The BIRDS i saw on the way to Bharathpur ,not inside the park

I was very disturbed to hear about how bad the drought and other factors have hit the Keolandeo park. I know the monsoon was late again this year. Has it finally arrived and is the wetland now a wetland..? In December 02 apparently it was completely dry!

Planning a visit in September hope to see some wildlife still remaining.

I heard via a friend that they had some rain at least in Bharatpur lets hope it enough!

radz · Aug 18th, 2005, 11:13

Hi All
Whoever planning to Bharatpur this season you will be surprised to see the lake full of water.Hope this brings more Birds this season
I had been to Bharatpur last weekend.
The guides&ppl over there said its going to be good season for Birds.
After moonsoon rain the Lake received good water, its full of water.

Cheers

Well that's got me reaching for the extra smiley menu!!!

Cheers Radz you've made my day!

Not only is this great news for the park itself but very good news for the local Hoteliers who have to coin a phrase "been sitting on the bones of their arse" this past year, it's been a tough year since the the shennanigans that lead to a dry lake last year!
Add to that the fact that many of them are fighting a court case for their very survival and you'll see that this will come as very welcome news indeed!!

Yipee I can't wait to go back!!

P.S. I don't suppose you heard anything about the court case while you were there Radz????

radz · Aug 18th, 2005, 11:45

Yes Cyber,it was really good news for hotel guyz&ppl who depend on Park for there bussiness.
Seems the court is case still there,but the Dam they were stopping the the water for lake is full too,
So this season they dont have choice but release extra water from Dam.
I went to DEEG,all the way I can see water on field, seems good rain over there Rajasthan,everywater water ,looks like flood scene.
Delhi we din"t get much rain comparing to around Delhi.

Cheers
Radz
