Wildlife Rescued and Released in Manipur’s Keibul Lamjao National Park
As part of World Wildlife Day celebrations, the People for Animals (PFA) Manipur has released 10 rescued wild animals back into their natural habitat at the Keibul Lamjao National Park (KLNP) under the jurisdiction of the state’s Central Forest Division. This effort is a significant step towards conserving the state’s rich biodiversity.
The rescued animals, which included an Assam leaf turtle, two Burmese ferret badgers, a small Indian civet, a monocled cobra, two Bengal monitors, and a flying fox, among others, received necessary medical care at the animal shelter of PFA before being released. Officials from the Imphal-based organization rescued the animals from various regions of the state over the past few days.
The event, held under the theme "Wildlife Conservation Finance: Investing in People and Planet," was supervised by L Joykumar, the Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) of the Government of Manipur, along with Anurag Bajpai, the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (PCCF) and Head of Forest Force (HOFF) of the state.
"We are committed to ensuring the well-being and safety of rescued animals," said L Biswajeet Meitei, the managing trustee of PFA Manipur. "This release is a significant milestone in our efforts to conserve wildlife and promote ecofriendly practices in the state."
The release of these animals is a testament to the efforts of organizations like PFA Manipur, which are working tirelessly to protect and preserve the state’s rich natural heritage. As the state celebrates World Wildlife Day, this initiative serves as a reminder of the importance of wildlife conservation and the need for sustained efforts to protect the planet’s biodiversity.
