This region supports Himalayan and sub-Himalayan species: warblers\, babblers\, flycatchers\, thrushes\, woodpeckers\, jays\, pheasants\, etc. Given its elevation gradient\, one might find altitudinal migrants moving through Koti. The area is part of Himachal’s mosaic of forested landscapes. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									 Threats include forest clearance\, infrastructure (roads\, power lines)\, forest fires\, grazing\, and human encroachment.

This region is an ecotone where the sub-tropical deciduous forest merges into the pine forest as elevation increases. This region supports Himalayan and sub-Himalayan species: warblers\, babblers\, flycatchers\, thrushes\, woodpeckers\, jays\, pheasants\, etc. Given its elevation gradient\, one might find altitudinal migrants moving through Koti. The area is part of Himachal’s mosaic of forested landscapes. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									 Threats include forest clearance\, infrastructure (roads\, power lines)\, forest fires\, grazing\, and human encroachment. Conservation here would gain from corridor connectivity\, protection of forest patches\, restricting forest fragmentation\, and promoting birding trails that support ecotourism and local livelihoods. 								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Devaditya ThakurNature enthusiast and avid birder.
