Itanagar Wildlife Sanctuary

The Itanagar wildlife sanctuary was established in 1968 with the aim to conserve the biodiversity around the Itanagar sanctuary. The reserve forest around Itanagar became part of the sanctuary. The sanctuary has geographical boundary limits as River Pam to the east, Pachin in the south, Neorochi on the north-East and the Chingke stream in the north. The terrain is mostly hilly. Since the sanctuary is close to the city, it plays an important role in environmental education. Flora The forest can be classified into Tropical Semievergreen and wet evergreen forest. Pure patches of Bamboos are seen intermittently. The most common Bamboo species are Bambusa pallida (Bijuli)and Bambusa hamiltonii (kako). The other tree species are Duabanga grandiflora (Khokan), Amoora wallichi (Aman) Toona ciliata (poma), Magnolia sps (Sopa), Schima wallichi (Makrisal), Castanopsis indica (Hingori). Fauna The Itanagar Sanctuary is rich in biodiversity. The animals found in the sanctuary include tiger, leopard, clouded leopard, Asian elephant, gaur, sloth Bear, Barking Deer, marbled cat, capped langur, slow loris. The state bird hornbill is a regular sight in the sanctuary. The white winged duck (Cairina scutolata) is also found. Threats to the sanctuary Since the sanctuary is having human population living around, there is a continuous threat from the people who engage in illegal hunting, fishing, fires, grazing, and encroachment on the sanctuary area. The local organisations are demanding denotification of certain portion of the sanctuary due to encrochment. References
Mehao Wildlife Sanctuary

The Mehao wildlife sanctuary was declared with an aim to conserve the biodiversity around the Mehao Lake. The sanctuary is gifted with virgin natural lush green forest and lakes.

Its average winter temperature is 12 °C (54 °F) and its average summer temperature is 36 °C (97 °F). Flora The forest can be classified into four major types; tropical evergreen, sub-tropical and temperate forest, temperate broad leaved forest and temperate coniferous forest. Plant species found in the sanctuary include Coptis teeta Taxus baccata, Terminalia myriocarpa, Terminalia bellirica, Terminalia chebula, Altingia excelsa, Jalauma phellocarpa, Abizzia lucida, Abizzia procera, Abizzia arunachalensis, Abizzia sherriffi, Acacia caesia, Canarium strictum, Lagerstroemia speciosa, Duabanga grandiflora, Michelia champaca, Messua ferra, Dillenia indica, Castanopsis indica, Bischofia javanica, Magnolia species, Ailanthus grandis, Kydia calycina, Bombax ceiba, Schima wallichii, Ficus altissima, Ainus nepalensis, Populus amblei, Castanopsis indica, Castanopsis spicata, Quercus griffithi, Quercus amellosa, and Betula alnoides. Fauna The Mehao Sanctuary is rich in biodiversity. The animals found in the sanctuary include tiger, leopard, clouded leopard, Asian elephant, gaur, sloth bear, barking deer, marbled cat, capped langur, slender loris, white browed gibbon, musk deer, Mishmi takin, red panda, and serow. The king cobra, python and great whip snake are the rare species of reptile found here. Butterflies include common peacock and Paris peacock. Funga The sanctuary harbours a rich lichen diversity, with 177 species belonging to 71 genera and 35 families identified across its altitudinal range (400–2700 m). Crustose lichens form the dominant growth type, comprising 56.5% of documented species, followed by foliose (34.5%) and fruticose (8%) forms. Only one species, Lecanora perplexa, was found across all study sites. The mid-altitude range of 1400–1600 m showed peak lichen diversity, displaying a unimodal pattern in relation to altitude. The central zone around Mehao Lake supported more lichen species compared to peripheral areas, likely due to reduced human disturbance and favourable microclimatic conditions created by the lake. The sanctuary's lichen diversity represents 8.6% of India's known lichen funga, making it one of the richest protected areas studied for lichens in the country. Humidity and altitude were identified as key factors influencing lichen distribution and diversity patterns within the sanctuary. Location The sanctuary is 17 km from Roing town which is also the district headquarters. The best time to visit the sanctuary is from October to March. References

Guwahati War Cemetery

Guwahati War Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) cemetery located in the Silpukhuri area of Guwahati, Assam, India. Established during the Second World War, it serves as the final resting place of soldiers who died in military hospitals in and around the region. The cemetery is one of the principal World War II war cemeteries in north-east India and is maintained by the CWGC. History The cemetery was established during the Second World War to accommodate burials from several military hospitals operating in the Guwahati region. As casualties increased, the available burial space proved insufficient. Consequently, the Army Graves Service consolidated graves from other burial grounds, including military and civil cemeteries in the region. In the post-war period, additional land was acquired to expand the cemetery and reorganize scattered burials into a permanent and dignified site. The cemetery was subsequently formalised and entrusted to the care of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, which standardised its layout and memorial architecture in line with other CWGC cemeteries worldwide. Description The cemetery is situated on Navagraha Road in the Silpukhuri locality, approximately 2.5 kilometres from Guwahati Railway Station. It is landscaped in the typical CWGC style, featuring uniform headstones, manicured lawns, and a central memorial structure. The cemetery contains over 500 burials, including: Approximately 486 Commonwealth servicemen of the Second World War 25 unidentified burials 24 graves of Chinese soldiers A number of Indian soldiers, including both identified and unidentified graves There were also burials of Japanese soldiers who died during the war; however, their remains were later exhumed and repatriated to Japan. Significance The Guwahati War Cemetery is one of several Second World War cemeteries established in India to commemorate Allied war dead, particularly those who served in the Burma Campaign and the broader South-East Asian theatre. It reflects the logistical importance of Assam during the war, when the region served as a key base for military operations and medical treatment. The cemetery also highlights the multinational composition of Allied forces, with graves representing soldiers from Britain, India, China, and other countries. It stands as a memorial to the sacrifices made during the war and is maintained as a site of remembrance and historical importance. Maintenance The cemetery is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, an intergovernmental organisation responsible for commemorating Commonwealth military personnel who died in the two World Wars. The CWGC ensures uniform commemoration regardless of rank, nationality, or religion. The cemetery has occasionally been subject to vandalism and theft of commemorative plaques, raising concerns about preservation and security.

Ursus thibetanus laniger

Ursus thibetanus laniger és una subespècie de l'os del Tibet (Ursus thibetanus). Descripció Té un pelatge de color negre amb el musell marró clar i una taca en forma de mitja lluna de color groc pàl·lid al pit. De mitjana, fa 140–165 cm des del nas fins a la cua i pesa 90-120 kg, tot i que pot pesar-ne fins a 180 a la tardor, quan s'està engreixant per a afrontar la hibernació. La maduresa sexual l'assoleix al cap dels tres anys de vida. L'aparellament es creu que s'esdevé a l'octubre i els dos cadells que té neixen al febrer mentre la mare és encara hibernant. Les cries romandran amb sa mare fins a llur segon any. És diürn, tot i que la majoria d'exemplars han esdevingut nocturns amb la finalitat d'evitar els humans. Passen el dia, sovint, en coves o arbres buits. Alimentació És omnívor i la seva dieta és formada per glans, nous, fruites, mel, arrels i insectes (com ara tèrmits i larves de coleòpters). Si el seu aliment habitual esdevé escàs, és possible que ataqui bestiar com ovelles, cabres i d'altres animals per a poder menjar. Hàbitat És més nombrós a les zones muntanyenques i les jungles. Distribució geogràfica Es troba a l'Himàlaia (des del Bhutan fins al Pakistan). Durant l'estiu freqüenta les zones més càlides d'aquest territori al Nepal, la Xina i el Tibet, i a una altitud de 10.000-12.000 peus. A l'hivern descendeix fins als 1.500 metres. És inclòs a la Llista Vermella de la UICN. Les seves principals amenaces són la invasió del seu hàbitat pels humans, els incendis forestals, la desforestació per part de la indústria de la fusta i una alta taxa de mortalitat entre els cadells. A més, tot i que la seva caça va ésser prohibida d'ençà del 1977, la caça furtiva continua essent un gran problema. Referències Bibliografia Wilson, D. E.; Reeder, D. M. (editors).

Ursus thibetanus laniger

L'orso nero himalayano (Ursus thibetanus laniger Pocock, 1932) è un mammifero della famiglia degli Ursidae, diffuso nella catena dell'Himalaya in India, Tibet, Nepal, Cina e Pakistan. Descrizione Si distingue da Ursus thibetanus thibetanus per la sua pelliccia più lunga e spessa e per il petto più piccolo, dove è presente un segno bianco. In media misurano da 140 a 170 cm dal naso alla coda e pesano da 91 a 120 Kg, quando in autunno prendono peso per affrontare il letargo possono arrivare a pesare fino a 180 Kg. Biologia Alimentazione Sono creature onnivore e mangiano qualsiasi cosa. La loro dieta è composta da ghiande, noci, frutta, miele, radici e vari insetti come isotteri e larve di coleotteri. Se il cibo è scarso, possono ricorrere al consumo di bestiame come pecore, capre e bovini. Riproduzione Raggiungono la maturità sessuale a circa tre anni. L'accoppiamento avviene in ottobre e i cuccioli nascono a febbraio quando la madre è ancora in letargo. Solitamente partoriscono due cuccioli che restano.con la madre fino al secondo anno di vita. Distribuzione e habitat Durante l'estate, gli orsi di questa specie si possono trovare nelle zone più calde del Nepal, della Cina, del Bhutan, dell'India e del Tibet ad altitudini comprese tra i 3000-3700 m vicino al limite del bosco. Per l'inverno, scendono fino a 1500 m, fino ad altre foreste tropicali. Tassonomia Questo orso è una sottospecie dell'orso tibetano. Conservazione La lista rossa IUCN non ha classificato l'Ursus thibetanus laniger, ciononostante questa sottospecie è classificata come "vulnerabile" da organismi locali, a causa dell'invasione della popolazione umana, degli incendi boschivi e delle industrie del legname; tutti questi fattori hanno ridotto l'habitat dell'orso. Anche l'alto tasso di mortalità tra i neonati e il bracconaggio sono un grosso problema.

Ursus thibetanus laniger

Ursus thibetanus laniger este o subspecie a ursului negru asiatic care trăiește în Munții Himalaya din India, Tibet, Nepal, China și Pakistan. Descriere Se distinge de U. t. thibetanus prin faptul că are o blană mai lungă și mai deasă și prin faptul că semnul său de pe piept, specific urșilor negri asiatici, este mai mic și mai alb. În timpul verii, urșii Ursus thibetanus laniger pot fi găsiți în zonele mai calde din Nepal, China, Bhutan, India și Tibet, la altitudini de circa 3000 până la 3700 m. Iarna coboară cu aproximativ 1500 m, în păduri tropicale. În medie, măsoară de la nas până la coadă 140–170 cm și cântăresc 91–120 kg, deși toamna, când se pregătesc pentru iarnă, pot cântări cam 180 kg. Alimentație Ușii negrii Ursus thibetanus laniger sunt animale omnivore, mâncând aproape orice lucru care este comestibil. Se hrănesc cu ghinde, nuci, fructe, miere, rădăcini, ierburi, mamifere mici, ouă, diferite insecte ca termitele, dar și cu larve de gândaci. Dacă hrana este rară, încep să mănânce din șeptel animale ca oile, caprele și bovinele. Reproducere Acești urși ating maturitatea sexuală la vârsta de aproximativ trei ani. Împerecherea are loc în luna octombrie, iar femela naște de obicei doi pui în luna februarie, în timp ce se află încă în stare de hibernare. De obicei, puii rămân cu mama lor timp de doi ani. Stare ecologică Această subspecie este clasificată ca „vulnerabilă” din cauza populării arealului său de către oameni, incendiilor de pădure și tăierii copacilor; toate acestea au redus habitatul acestor urși. De asemenea, rata mortalității în rândul nou-născuților este mare. Chiar dacă vânarea acestui animal este interzisă începând cu anul 1977, braconajul este încă o problemă mare pentru urșii Ursus thibetanus laniger. Speranța de viață în sălbăticie este de aproximativ 25–30 de ani.
