Abstract
Keoladeo National Park KNP is an important wintering ground for thousands of birds that undertake a perilous journey over the Himalaya to make a seasonal home in a wetland ecosystem However this wetland is now getting polluted by various types of contaminants such as pesticides because of the agricultural practices in the catchment area from where the park receives water Keeping this in mind the present study has been undertaken to assess the organochlorine pesticide OCP residues in the sediments inside and around KNP Samples were collected from the different blocks of the park The concentrations of αHCH βHCH γHCH δHCH SHCH aldrin dieldrin heptachlor heptepoxide endosulfanI endosulfanII endosulfate Sendosulfan endrin 44′DDE 44′DDD and DDT were quantified using gas chromatography with electron capture detection Analysis showed that the samples were contaminated with the above mentioned pesticides and that the concentration of total OCPs in the sediments varied from 01173 dieldrin to 5558 ppm γ HCH in the samples collected from inside the park whereas a range of pesticides varying in concentration from 01245 44′DDD to 754 ppm γ HCH was found in samples from outside the park Residues of SHCH and Sendosulfan were not detected in any of the sediment samples The occurrence of pesticides inside the park is a major threat to the park’s biodiversity Ecofriendly agriculture practices with minimal use of inorganic chemicals are suggested to minimize the pesticide residue levels in the parkWe thank the Ministry of Environment and Forests Government of India for providing funding support for research project “Effect of pesticide use on Indian blue peafowl and Grey francolin in parts of central India” to the World Pheasant Association WPAIndia We thank the Director Wildlife Institute of India for providing support under the UNFUNESCO project “Building Partnerships to Support UNESCO’s World Heritage Programme in India” We are grateful to the Director Keoladeo National Park Bharatpur for facilitating the conduct of the study
