Manipur in mixed-site tag race
The Telegraph | Guwahati, Dec. 22:
The Centre wants to promote Keibul Lamjao conservation area in Manipur as a "mixed site" under UNESCO. A mixed site contains elements of both natural and cultural significance. There are no mixed sites from India in the UNESCO list at present.
Official sources said a meeting was held at Imphal yesterday by the Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun (an autonomous institution under ministry of forest, environment and climate change ) with local communities and forest department officials to garner support from all the stakeholders. If it happens, this would be the first site from Manipur to be included in the World Heritage List of mixed site.
