She highlighted the role of citizen science in building long-term bird datasets\, explaining how consistent bird lists contribute to a better understanding of species distribution\, population trends\, and conservation planning. She also spoke about the global significance of the Great Backyard Bird Count and how Campus Bird Counts in India are helping expand participation and awareness among young birders.\n								\n				\n				\n				\n									Manasvi further elaborated on how such initiatives generate valuable information even on common bird species\, which are often under-documented despite living close to us.
