Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary, Bird sanctuary in Kochi, India
This protected area contains mangrove forests and wetlands that provide habitats for numerous bird species throughout the migration seasons.
The Kerala Forest Department established this conservation area in 2004, making it the smallest protected sanctuary in the state.
The name derives from Malayalam words meaning 'auspicious forest', reflecting the local community's dedication to environmental preservation.
The sanctuary occupies 0.0274 square kilometers and remains accessible to visitors through designated pathways near the urban center.
A May 2006 survey documented 194 birds from 32 species, alongside 17 butterfly varieties and 51 spider species within this urban sanctuary.
