Gavier Wetland Protection Project Our club has adopted Gavier as this year's large scale project for bird life and wetland protection. Our organization had taken strong steps to protect this wetland from destruction a decade back. Gavier lake is located 7 kms away from Surat city. The lake has been regularly visited by winter migratory birds. Numerous bird species, including Shovellors, Coots, Pochards, Storks, Cranes, Jacanas, Moorhens are regularly feature during winter. The resident species are seen throughout the year. There is also rich birdlife on the banks. This is also one of the lakes where otters are regularly seen. The lake is located at a short distance from the river and a shallow end and a grassland. Beyond the grassland is river Tapi, which has small mud flats and islets. Across the river, lies the Kribhco bird sanctuary. Lately, there has been an increased disturbance, primarily from grazing cattle and people, which our club felt was detrimental to the wetland. Our organization decided to adopt this wetland. The following objectives were identified:

The club would like to thank Mr. Rajan Shah and Suzlon Ltd and our other numerous donors for their generous contributions to this project.
