Seminar: Kaziranga- its present and future

Annual floods create a lot of distress in Kaziranga National Park, which is home to the one horned rhino. The seminar ‘Kaziranga – its present and future’ was organized in Delhi University on November 2012.

The Care Luit team had invited conservationists, wildlife experts and students to discuss solutions that can be recommended to the government for immediate action. The discussion had covered issues such as acquiring and protecting adequate hill areas for the habitats of wildlife, eviction of illegal encroacher and industries from the park area, and protecting the park around the vulnerable pitch of the national highway.

The agenda was to ultimately protect the wildlife during floods and from road accidents. The key speakers of the event were Former Governor Lt. Gen. S.K. Sinha (PVSM), Arup Dutta – former Cultural Ambassador to Indonesia, Khanjan Nath (Environmentalist).
