Forest Owlet - Species & Habitats Awareness Programme

After 1884, for 113 long years, not a single Forest Owlet was to be found. Ornithologists were convinced it had gone extinct. On a hunch, American ornithologist Dr Pamela Rasmussen went searching for this bird in 1997 - and spotted two in Maharashtra! This small owl species, which is endemic to India, was first discovered in 1872. It is still on the verge of extinction, in the critically endangered category. Follow our team as they explore this bird’s characteristics and habitats across Maharashtra.
The Habitats Trust and MahaMTB present the pioneering first-ever Marathi language video series, the 'Species and Habitats Awareness Programme'. This episode is part of a whopping 100-episode undertaking by MahaMTB, supported by The Habitats Trust, to showcase lesser-known forest and marine species in their habitats.
