Additional effort to protects, restore and control the distinctive diversity of the bio-network globally, depends on better understanding of the primary, physical and biological process surrounding and sustaining that unique diversity on large scale to enhance conservation for generation yet unborn because global riparian bio-network harbors diverse bird species, making it an excellent indicator of biodiversity.
