Jammu and Kashmir hosts bird festival
Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Department of Tourism and the Sanctuary Nature Foundation (SNF) recently hosted the Jammu and Kashmir Bird Festival 2022 here.
The festival, organized on Monday, aimed at sharing this natural heritage with visitors and local people and garner their support for its conservation while creating livelihood opportunities for the region, reports ANI news agency.
Deputy Director of the Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Department, Khalid Peer, told ANI that the event was organized to create awareness about the birds found in Jammu and Kashmir in collaboration with the Sanctuary Nature Foundation.
“The students of the school were invited because they are the future and similar programs will be organized in other areas of the valley in the coming days,” he said.
