Prakriti ki god mein hamesha kuch aise rang-birange jeev baste hain jo humari aankhon ko sukoon aur dil ko khushi dete hain. Aise hi ek khoobsurat pakshi ki baat karne ja rahe hain jo sirf ek vishesh bhag mein paaya jaata hai, yani ek “endemic” pakshi. Prakriti ka yeh anmol tohfa sirf ek nirdharit jagah par milta hai, jise dekhne ke liye log door-door se safar karte hain.
Har ek pakshi ka apna ek alag habitat hota hai jo uske jeene ke liye anukool hota hai. Jab koi pakshi sirf ek hi bhag ya region mein paaya jaata hai aur duniya ke kisi aur hisse mein nahi milta, to use endemic kaha jata hai. Yeh pakshi kabhi kisi island par, kabhi ghane vanon mein, to kabhi unche pahaadon par apni ek alag duniya basa leta hai. Unka jeevan wahan ki sthiti, jalvayu aur bhojan ke adhar par tika hota hai.
Ek misal ke taur par, agar hum Bharat ki baat karein, to yahan ke Western Ghats ya Andaman-Nicobar Islands kai anokhe aur vilakshan pakshiyon ka ghar hain. Yahaan aise kai pakshi milte hain jo duniya ke kisi bhi anya kone mein nahi milte. Western Ghats ka Malabar Grey Hornbill ya Andaman Crake jaise pakshi sirf wahi ke jungle aur samayik jalvayu mein jeevit reh sakte hain. Isi tarah Hawaii ke honeycreepers ya Madagascar ke vangas bhi apne-apne ilake ke hi ek anmol hissa hain.
Jab koi pakshi ek hi jagah par simit rehta hai, to uske viloopan ka dar bhi utna hi zyada hota hai. Yadi uske habitat ko nukhsan pahunchta hai, to uska jeevan bhi sankat mein pad sakta hai. Aksar dekha gaya hai ki jab jungle kat rahe hote hain, prithvi ka taapmaan badh raha hota hai, ya naye shikari uske jeevan mein hastakshep karte hain, to endemic pakshi vilupti ki kagar par aa jaate hain. Yeh hi wajah hai ki wildlife conservation ke liye hum sabko milkar prayas karna chahiye.
Aise pakshiyon ka dekhan ek anokha anubhav hota hai. Jab koi birdwatcher ya pakshi premi kisi endemic pakshi ko apni aankhon se dekhta hai, to ek ajeeb si khooshi mehsoos hoti hai. Yeh jaanna ki yeh pakshi sirf issi jagah ka ansh hai, ek ajeeb si shanti aur adbhutta ka ahsaas dilata hai.
Agar aap bhi kabhi kisi aise anokhe pakshi ko dekhne ka sapna dekh rahe hain, to aapko chahiye ki pehle un jagahon ke baare mein jankari lein jahan yeh milte hain. Unke swabhav, khan-paan, aur rajnaitik ya paryavaran sambandhi chunautiyon ko samajhna bhi zaroori hai. Aise pakshiyon ki raksha sirf sarkaron ya sangathanon ka kaam nahi hai, balki har ek prakriti premi ka kartavya hai ki wo inse jude prayason mein yogdan de.
Aakhirkar, endemic pakshi sirf ek prakritik sampatti nahi hain, balki ek kahani hain jo sirf ek jagah par likhi gayi hai. Yeh ek aisi virasat hai jo sirf usi bhag ki mitti, pani aur hava mein jeevit reh sakti hai. Agar hum chahte hain ki yeh kahani hamesha likhi jaye aur yeh khoobsurat pakshi hamesha apne ghar mein rahein, to humein unke jeevan aur unke paryavaran ki suraksha karni hi hogi.
