The Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has recently designated Namdapha National Park & Tiger Reserve and Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary & Tiger Reserve in Arunachal Pradesh as Eco-Sensitive Zones (ESZ). These areas in the Changlang and Lohit districts are now receiving enhanced protection to boost conservation efforts. This new status aims to safeguard these reserves' unique landscapes and rich biodiversity.
Chief Minister Pema Khandu has also announced that Pakke Tiger Reserve will soon be included in the same ESZ category. In a social media post, he mentioned that the designation is crucial for conserving rare plant and animal species while ensuring the sustainability of ecosystems.
