00:00In Guntur district, there are around 18 countries from which thousands of birds come to Uppalapadu
00:10Bird Protection Centre.
00:11Thousands of birds come from the Himalayas to Uppalapadu Bird Protection Centre in Australia,
00:17Siberia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Nepal and other countries in the same period.
00:23That is why Uppalapadu Bird Protection Centre has gained recognition in the national and
00:28international level.
00:29Not only from the Himalayas, but also from other countries and foreign countries, people
00:33from all over the world come here to see different kinds of birds.
00:36This is all in the past.
00:38The number of visitors has reduced due to the VICP's negligence in maintaining this
00:42centre.
00:43In Uppalapadu, there are landslides like in Sri Lanka.
01:02On top of these landslides, pine trees have grown tall and the birds have adapted to the
01:07air.
01:08Thousands of birds have become their habitat.
01:10They have been living here for a long time.
01:14The Uppalapadu Bird Protection Centre is under the Atavisaka Wildlife Department.
01:18The government has said that the pine trees have all dried up due to the VICP's negligence
01:23in maintaining this centre.
01:25The birds have been having trouble staying on these trees for three weeks.
01:29They are saying that the iron poles are not strong enough.
01:34I have come from Guntur to see the Uppalapadu Bird Protection Centre.
01:38It is very close to the city.
01:41The birds come and go from all over the world.
01:46We cannot see these birds in the city or in the surrounding villages.
01:51We can only see them here.
01:54If the government develops this and makes it public, the government will get a good
01:59income.
02:00I hope that this will develop well.
02:05The leaders of the committee have given a lot of attention to this bird centre.
02:12The children are coming and going here.
02:15It is very peaceful here.
02:17We want to develop this bird centre further.
02:21Approximately 30 types of foreign birds come to the Uppalapadu Bird Protection Centre
02:25from Australia, Siberia, China and South Africa.
02:34Pelicans, Painted Starks, Open-billed Starks, White Ibees, Darted Snake and other birds
02:40come here to see the birds.
02:42Wild birds and birds of different species also come here to see the birds.
02:47There is a lack of facilities to see the wild birds.
02:57The leaders of the committee have given a lot of attention to this bird centre.
03:02We want to develop this bird centre further.
03:05The leaders of the committee have given a lot of attention to this bird centre further.
03:10We want to develop this bird centre further.
03:13The leaders of the committee have given a lot of attention to this bird centre further.
03:18The leaders of the committee have given a lot of attention to this bird centre further.
03:23In the next five years, there will be no birds.
03:26We want the government to ensure that the birds come to this bird centre.
03:36The name Uppalapadu Bird Protection Centre is a good name.
03:39But it is not developed as much as we expected.
03:42We want to develop this bird centre further.
03:49Foreign birds come here in large numbers mainly because of the favorable environment in Uppalapadu.
03:57When it rains heavily in China, Russia and Siberia, the birds do not get food.
04:03Their lives also become miserable.
04:05Therefore, Uppalapadu Bird Protection Centre, which is thousands of kilometres away,
04:10is being developed to save food from environmental pollution.
04:15Due to the lack of proper management and supervision, the birds are facing a difficult situation here.
04:22Foreign birds only eat fish.
04:25Therefore, the local people want to develop breeding grounds for fish that are suitable for their diet.
04:36Uppalapadu Bird Protection Centre.
04:39The birds come here from far away places.
04:43For the past five to six years, the birds have not been well taken care of.
04:49If the government helps the birds, they will be able to protect themselves.
04:57This is what the local people and villagers want.
