Chitrangudi Bird Sanctuary, Bird sanctuary in Ramanathapuram District, Tamil Nadu, India
The sanctuary contains a water body surrounded by 15-meter-high embankments spanning 4 kilometers, retaining water for several months after rainfall.
Established as a protected area in 1989, the sanctuary received recognition as a Ramsar Wetland site in November 2021 for its ecological importance.
Local communities maintain the sanctuary's irrigation system through traditional water management practices that support both wildlife and agriculture.
Visitors can reach the sanctuary by road from Madurai Airport, located 175 kilometers away, with accommodation available in nearby Mudukulathur and Sayalgudi.
The sanctuary provides nesting sites for multiple heron species among the Babul trees, which were first planted in 1979.
