DIMAPUR, AUGUST 28 (MExN): In response to the mass killing of Amur Falcons recorded last year, a campaign to protect the migratory birds has been launched in Wokha district. The 'Friends of the Amur Falcon' campaign will include nature education, creation of Amur Falcon Ecoclubs, patrolling and enforcement as well as scientific study of the birds. Thousands of Amur Falcons migrate through Nagaland every winter on their 22,000 journey from Siberia to South Africa.
In 2012, NWBCT documented the massacre of thousands of the Amur Falcons in Wokha district. The birds descend along the banks of the Doyang River, where hunters set up nets to catch them. These findings were published in Conservation India, resulting in national and international outcry. ![]() via Science - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNEaiDFzgPySoyBfUBwqCkr2bwhVUg&url=http://www.morungexpress.com/frontpage/101982.html | |||
