MELAGIRIS (TAMIL NADU)

PROPOSAL FOR IMPORTANT BIRD AREA (IBA)

State : Tamil Nadu, India

District : Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri

Coordinates : 12°18'54"N  77°41'42"E

Ownership : State

Area : 98926.175 ha

Altitude : 300­1395 m

Rainfall : 620­1000 mm

Temperature : 10°C ­ 35°C

Biographic Zone : Deccan Peninsula

Habitats : Tropical Dry Deciduous, Riverine Vegetation, Tropical Dry Evergreen

Proposed Criteria

A1 (Globally Threatened Species)

A2 (Endemic Bird Area 123 ­ Western Ghats, Secondary Area s072 ­ Southern Deccan Plateau)

A3 (Biome­10 ­ Indian Peninsula Tropical Moist Forest, Biome­11 ­ Indo­Malayan Tropical Dry Zone)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Melagiris are a group of hills lying nestled between the Cauvery and Chinnar rivers, to the south­east of

Hosur taluk in Tamil Nadu, India. The Melagiris form part of an almost unbroken stretch of forests connecting

Bannerghatta   National   Park   (which   forms   its   north­western   boundary)   to   the   forests   of   Cauvery   Wildlife

Sanctuary  ­  Karnataka (which  forms  its  southern boundary,   separated by  the river  Cauvery),  and further   to

Biligirirangan hills and Sathyamangalam forests. The northern  and western parts are comparatively plain and is

part of the Mysore plateau.

The average elevation in this region is 500­1000 m. Ground sinks to 300m in the valley of the Cauvery and the

highest point is the peak of Guthereyan at 1395.11 m.

Red sandy loam is the most common soil type found in this region. Small deposits of alluvium are found along

Cauvery and Chinnar rivers and Kaoline is found in some areas near Jowlagiri.

The temperature ranges from 10°C – 35°C. South­west monsoon is fairly active mostly in the northern areas, but

north­east monsoon is distinctly more effective  in the region. Average rainfall    is about 760 mm,   but some

pockets in Denkanikottai range receive upto 1000 mm rainfall.

The following map shows the proposed area for the IBA. The area shaded in dark green are part of the Cauvery

North Wildlife  Sanctuary,  Tamil Nadu. The area shaded in   light  green are the reserve  forests  of  Hosur and

Dharmapuri Forest Divisions in between the Cauvery North WLS, the river Cauvery and the river Chinnar.

RF: Reserve Forest     FD: Forest Division

Most parts of the forests are classified under Southern Tropical Dry Mixed Deciduous Forests (5A/C3). Southern

Tropical Riverine Forests (5/B1) form a narrow strip along Cauvery and Chinnar rivers.   Southern Tropical Dry

Evergreen Forests (7/C1) are found in some sheltered pockets in Denkanikottai range where rainfall is around

1000 mm and elevation 800­1315 m. Southern Tropical Dry Deciduous Scrub Forests (5A/DS1) are seen mostly

near   forest   borders.  Hardwickia   binata,  Terminalia  arjuna,   Tamarindus   indica,  Garcenia   gummigatta,   Shorea

roxbhurgii, Santalum album and Bamboo sp are some of the the important flora found in the area.

AVIFAUNA

The   birds   seen   in  Melagiris   are   mostly   typical   of   the   tropical  dry   deciduous/dry   scrub   forests   found  here.

Variations from this pattern are seen along the Cauvery and Chinnar rivers, and in the evergreen patches of

Denkanikottai range. A total of 268 species have been recorded from the area. A comprehensive bird survey was

conducted in February 2014 which helped to collect a lot of first hand data about the birds in Melagiris.

A1: Globally Threatened Species 

A pair  of  Egyptian  Vultures  Neophron  percnopterus  were   seen  nesting   in  Devarbetta   in  Jowlagiri   range  and

photographed. Indian Spotted Eagle, a Vulnerable species, is seen wide­spread in Hosur Forest Division, and have

been recorded from Denkanikotai, Hosur, Rayakotai and Urigam areas. Pied Tit, another Vulnerable Species has

been recorded from Denkanikottai in Hosur Division and parts of Dharmapuri Division. The birds seen here are a

part of the small surviving South Indian population in the South portions of the Eastern Ghats. A flock of Nilgiri

Wood Pigeon was recorded from Kodekarai during Melagiri Bird Survey, 2014. 

The IUCN red­listed species found in the area are listed below.

Painted Storks at Thally, Jowlagiri Range

Greater Grey­headed Fish­Eagle Ichthyophaga ichthyaetus (Near Threatened) has also been reported from the area

until 3 years ago. These sightings could have been of Lesser Fish Eagle and need to be verified. All Fish Eagles

recorded during Melagiri Bird Survey 2014 were also Lesser, which makes this even more probable. Also, Yellow­

throated Bulbul Pycnonotus xantholaemus (Vulnerable), Oriental White­backed Vulture Gyps bengalensis (Critically

Endangered) and Long­billed Vulture Gyps indicus (Critically Endangered) have been documented from both the

nearby IBAs of Bannerghatta National Park and Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary, Karnataka. Since Melagiri forms a

contiguous patch of forests between these two IBAs, it is probable that these birds are present in Melagiris also,

but have not been documented yet.

A2: Restricted Range Species 

Melagiris has restricted range species from Endemic Bird Area 123 (Western Ghats). Good population of Blue­

winged Parakeet is present in the forests of Denkanikottai range.

OTHER KEY FAUNA

The riverine forests along Cauvery provides habitat for Grizzled Giant Squirrel, a species threatened by rapid

habitat loss. The region is estimated to have 150­200 elephants, but this number varies throughout the year.

Other mammals found in the area are the Sloth Bear, Dhole, Leopard, Four Horned Antelope, Sambar, Chital,

Small Indian Civet, Common Mongoose, Madras Tree Shrew, Jungle Cat, Golden Jackal, Gerbil, Black Naped

Hare,   Bonnet   Macaque,   Wild   Pig.   Indian   Gaur,   Common   Palm   Civet,   Mouse   Deer,   Barking   Deer,   Ruddy

Mongoose, Stripe Necked Mongoose, Slender Loris and Rusty spotted cat. Around 32 species of  reptiles include

Marsh Crocodile,   Indian  Rock  Python,   Indian  Cobra,  Russell's  Viper,  Common Sand Boa,  etc,  10   species  of

amphibians, 18 species of fishes, and over 250 species of flora have been documented.

THREATS AND CONSERVATION ISSUES

Lack of Protected Status to the Forest

Human – Elephant Conflict

Grazing

Poaching

Agricultural Expansion

Invasive Species

Absence of Scientific Study and Census of Wildlife

Large parts of the forests of Melagiris are Reserve Forests, and do not enjoy the protection status of a Wildlife

Sanctuary or National Park, even though they are prime wildlife habitat and borders Cauvery North Wildlife

Sanctuary ­ Tamil Nadu and Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary ­ Karnataka. The forests are largely unexplored and

scientific study of its biodiversity and systematic wildlife census are not done. Anthropogenic pressures in the

form of illegal firewood smuggling, poaching, cattle penning, goat­grazing, jatres­festivals inside reserve forests,

forest fires etc goes unchecked, in spite of the best efforts of the forest department.
