      Kebul Lamjao National Park – Today Current Affairs

      • Residents of Keibul Lamjao National Park (KLNP) in Manipur are protesting against the relocation of the site.
      • People argue that the proposed site has nothing to do with efforts to save the endangered deer. On the other hand the people of nearby villages are making every effort to save the deer.

      Today Current Affairs

      Important facts about Kebul Lamjao National Park:

      • It is the only floating national park in the world, Kebul Lamjao National Park on Loktak Lake is the last natural habitat of dancing deer ‘Sangai’ (Rucervus eldii eldii) of Manipur.
      • In the 1950s, it was believed that the ‘Sangai’ deer had become extinct in the country. However, it was later rediscovered in Manipur.
      • Hog deer, otter, water fowl and a group of migratory birds are found here.

      Loktak Lake : The Hindu Analysis

      • Loktak Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India and is famous for the phumdi floating above the water surface.
      • Phumdi is a heterogeneous mass of vegetation, soil and organic matter in different stages of decomposition.
      • This ancient lake plays an important role in the economy of Manipur. It serves as a source of water for irrigation, drinking water supply and hydropower generation.
      • Keeping in view the ecological status and its biodiversity values, Loktak Lake was initially designated as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention in 1990
      • Later it was also listed under Montreux Records in the year 1993.
      • Human activities have put severe strain on the ecosystem of the lake.

      Antlered Deer : The Hindu Analysis

      • Common names: Sangai, brow horned deer, dancing deer
      • Scientific name: Rucervus eldi

      Introduction : The Hindu Analysis

      • The brow-horned deer, or sangai, is the state animal of Manipur.
      • The cover of the animal is dark reddish brown in winter months and becomes very light in summer.
      • Native to Cambodia, China, India, Laos and Myanmar, these animals were previously widespread in the habitats of South and Southeast Asia.

      Accommodation : The Hindu Analysis

      • The habitat of deer varies from scrub and grassland to dry forests and marshlands, depending on the country in which they are found.
      • In India these animals are found only in the famous Loktak lake of Manipur.
      • The brow-antlered deer usually consume grass.

      Hazard : The Hindu Analysis

      • While globally habitat loss has been a serious concern in the conservation of this deer, hunting is an additional threat in Manipur. While habitats have been encroached upon for grazing, farming and pisciculture, the animals are highly threatened by a hydroelectric project in the lake.

      Security Status : The Hindu Analysis

      • IUCN Red List: Endangered
      • CITES: Appendix I
      • Wildlife Protection Act, 1972: Schedule-I
