             The whole Kuwabari Dalani , situated in the east  about 2 K.M. away from  Dhakuakhana  through Suren Buragohain Road and 1 K.M. away south-east from village Bhagamukh, is the area of proposed Kuwabari Birds Sanctuary.

              In 1990, the then Dhakuakhana S.D.O.(C), Dr. Anuwaruddin Choudhury along with Ecological Centre, Dhakuakhana & Assam Science Society, Dhakuakhana Branch jointly proposed to the Govt. of Assam by a resolution for declaring Bilmukh  Bordoibam, Arne Chapari, Kuwabari Dalani etc. as Reserved Birds Sanctuary. The Govt. of Assam, by a notification dtd. 3^rd July,1996 declares Bordoibam Bilmukh  wet land area as the second Birds Sanctuary in Assam .         In a census made the last Winter, there are 52 Nos. of migratory birds excluding 13  Nos. of local in this Sanctuary. Most of them are the species of  duck. The scenery of  the Syberian swan flying in line is very  beautiful to look  at.

          Various species of birds are seen all along the year. Among them are:   Pani Kauri,   Dari Kala, , Dauk ,  Gu-Bagali,  Moh-Bog,  Kam Charai, Pani  Dubari,   Dalpunga,   Kanamuchari,  Ajan,    Harali Hanh,  Ghila Hanh,   Hamuk Bhanga , Chilani,  Pani Chilani,, Machurooka,    Bortokala   etc.

             The Sub-Divisional administration of Dhakuakhana prohibits killing and driving away the birds so that favourable condition for the birds  would prevail in it.  The Magamix  Nature Club, Dhakuakhana is also trying at its level best for the preservation of birds and fishes herein. In near future, it is expected that the proposed Kuwabari Birds  Sanctuary would be able to attract tourists including the foreigners.
