The satellite mapping of the North-east region shows that the forest cover in the proposed Joydihing Wildlife Sanctuary is a contiguous patch of virgin rainforest and has not yet been fragmented. The meandering course of the river channels of Buridihing, Namsung and Dirak have clearly been shown in the satellite map. Nature's Beckon, an environmental group in the North-east has launched the first ever rainforest conservation movement in Assam, as well as in the region as a whole. Soumyadeep Datta, the Director of Nature's Beckon told The Sentinel that the organization has submitted a proposal to the Government to declare the contiguous patch of rainforests of the Joypur, Dirak and Upper Dihing as a wildlife sanctuary and has suggested the name Joydihing for the proposed reserve.
