Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary

This ecologically vulnerable region, located in the center of Kochi, spans 2.74 hectares. It features a tiny tidal lake that is linked to Kochi by a canal. It is well-known for the numerous migrating birds that fly here throughout the migratory season, as well as for supporting the area's mangrove forests.

As a result, it is regarded as Kerala's green lungs, keeping the city's pollutants at bay. Many nature enthusiasts and environmentalists are drawn to the Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary because of its diverse flora and wildlife. This region alone has been home to 72 different kinds of birds, adding to the biodiversity of the area.
