- Kadalundi, on the south-west coast in Kerala, had about 8 hectares of nutrient-rich inter-tidal mudflats in the early 2000s.
- Now, the expanse of mudflats in the estuary of the Kadalundipuzha river has reduced to just about 1 hectare.
- This too is gradually being covered with sand, depriving prey to thousands of shorebirds that migrate from colder climes in winter to Kadalundi village in Kozhikode district.
- Kadalundi is in the global map as a prominent destination of migrant shorebirds.
