Environment Authority eradicates 161,410 invasive birds in Dhofar
Salalah — The Environment Authority has successfully eliminated 161,410 invasive birds in Dhofar Governorate, including 88,365 myna birds and 73,046 Indian house crows, since the launch of the National Campaign to Combat Invasive Birds (Myna and Indian Crow) in 2022. The Environment Authority in Dhofar continues to implement the campaign, with field teams eliminating 10,449 invasive birds in the first half of this year (as of the end of June). These birds pose a significant threat to the local ecosystem, competing with native species for food and habitats, which could lead to the decline or extinction of indigenous wildlife. The campaign focuses on areas where these invasive species are concentrated, aligning with the Authority's strategy to protect biodiversity and maintain ecological balance. Efforts include conducting regular field surveys to identify their locations and applying effective control measures to reduce their populations.
