This study investigates the faunal diversity and climate adaptation strategies within the V.H.N.S.N. College campus in Virudhunagar, Tamil Nadu. The study was conducted from December 2022 to December 2023, the survey identified 42 bird species spanning 26 families, highlighting the campus's significance as a diverse avian habitat. Temperature fluctuations substantially impacted bird behaviour, with cooler temperatures promoting increased activity and attracting migratory species. Site-D emerged as a critical biodiversity hotspot, accounting for 51.2% of observed species. The Shannon Diversity Index and species richness metrics indicated a well-balanced ecosystem. A student survey revealed substantial engagement with local wildlife, emphasizing the importance of practical, hands-on learning experiences for enhancing biodiversity awareness. The study underscores the need for climate adaptation measures, habitat protection, and restoration to preserve campus biodiversity. Recommendations include establishing biodiversity corridors, minimizing human interference, and implementing continuous surveillance. Integrating fieldwork and conservation activities into educational curricula will promote environmental stewardship and position the campus as a model for sustainable practices. This research contributes to the understanding of urban ecosystem dynamics and informs strategies for mitigating environmental impacts on biodiversity. The findings have implications for campus planning, conservation, and education, highlighting the potential for urban green spaces to serve as vital habitats for faunal diversity.
