The Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary is located on Chorao Island in Goa, along the Mandovi River. It is named after the renowned ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali and is home to numerous migratory and resident bird species. Arunachal Pradesh has sanctuaries like Pakhui, Madhya Pradesh has Kanha, and Rajasthan has Keoladeo, but none house the Dr. Salim Ali sanctuary.
