Sharing an intresting observation from the Kerala Bird Race-2009 held here on Sunday. Natures ratification of the stand that the wetlands of the state are disappearing faster than what the official records state .

increasing across the State, which points to a possible desertification of
large parts of wetlands, according to a report of the Kerala Bird Race-2009 "
