The 244.04 acre lake in the village of Ankasamudra in Hagaribommanahalli taluk of the Ballari district is home to hundreds of species of birds from all over the country.
Due to the large number of birds migrating, the state government had declared it as a bird sanctuary reserve in 2017.
However, in order to take necessary steps for the conservation of the birds, the District Forest Department headed by Delhi researcher Tarun K. Roy, who specializes in bird census with HBHHL Green HBH Organization and local bird watchers observed the condition of the area.
