Tamenglong, March 29 2015:
A one day awareness camp organised by the Western Forest Division Tamenglong on bio-diversity conservation was held at Piulong (Bunning) village, Tamenglong district yesterday.
It may be mentioned that the area was earlier proposed to be the site for setting up a Bunning Wildlife Sanctuary by the Manipur Biodiversity Board.
Huri Golmei, DFO Tamenglong, Kh Hitler RFO, Md Bani Amin RFO and chairman of Piulong village attended the function besides other village authority members and women leaders.
The area is claimed to be one of the rich bio-diversity hot-spots of Manipur, home to pitcher plants, hoolock gibbon, samber deer, barking deer, Himalayan black bear and other animals.
