Abstract
Satellite Remote Sensing and GIS techniques are very useful for the study about the Wetlands and the spatial distribution of animal species like avifauna as discussed in this paper. Wetlands are amongst the most productive and dynamic ecosystems and essential part of our landscape. Wetlands provide countless benefits that include rich floral and faunal habitat, improved water quality, flood abatement, water storage and groundwater recharge, support of fisheries, and opportunities for education and recreation. Pakistan, due to its diverse weather and varied land is home to some of the rare and exclusive birds in the world. Its wetlands and lakes attract millions of migratory birds from across the globe. Out of total 19 RAMSAR sites in Pakistan, 10 sites including Hab Dam are located in Sindh. The selected Birds of the study are the common Birds, listed as Least Threatened except the Dalmatian Pelican found in Hub Dam area, listed as Vulnerable by IUCN.
