Environment Day

Even as we continue to observe World Environment Day year after year, mostly confining ourselves to ritualistic celebrations and doing lip service to the cause of Nature and wildlife, the state of our environment continues to deteriorate at an unprecedented level. Assam, together with the North-East, is among the global biodiversity hotspots, and we were lucky in being blessed with Nature's bounty in the form of luxuriant forests, gurgling rivers, rich wetlands and the wildlife they shelter. However, management of such an asset has been appalling, to say the least.
