Samaspur Sanctuary, Bird sanctuary in Raebareli district, India

Samaspur Bird Sanctuary encompasses six connected lakes across 799 hectares of land, providing essential habitats for resident and migratory water birds throughout the year.

The Indian government established this protected area in 1987, and in 2019 it received recognition as a Ramsar Wetland site of international importance.

The sanctuary maintains strong connections with local communities, who depend on its resources for agricultural fodder and sustainable fishing within designated zones.

Visitors can reach the sanctuary through Unchahar railway station, located 14 kilometers away, or via National Highway 22 connecting Lucknow to Varanasi.

The wetland supports more than 75,000 birds annually and maintains over 1% of South Asia's common pochard population, along with 46 freshwater fish species.
