According to officials, a two-day survey at a lake in Namsai, Arunachal Pradesh, revealed 89 bird species. Naturalist Koj Mama claims that the survey was carried out at Nongsaya Lake in Jona, which is roughly nine kilometers from Namsai town, by the Arunachal Pradesh Birding Club (APBC) and the Public Works Department. Oriental darter, lesser adjutant, pale-chinned blue flycatcher, blossom-headed parakeet, yellow-bellied warbler, and chestnut-capped babbler were among the important bird species observed during the study.
He emphasized the lake’s biological importance and said the region could make a significant contribution to sustainable development and community involvement in ecosystem preservation. In order to highlight the region’s ecological diversity, the team also documented a number of butterfly species, including the uncommon Assam Pasa, he said. The conservationist claimed Nongsaya Lake has the potential to become a popular destination for birdwatchers worldwide in the future because of its rich green forest cover and potential as a refuge for migratory water birds.
Mama emphasized that responsible ecotourism may be introduced to the region with the development of appropriate infrastructure, including well-planned trekking routes that don’t disrupt wildlife. Because they are indicators of the health of the environment and help with long-term conservation planning, migratory birds in particular are essential to preserving ecological balance. Mama thinks that Namsai district’s environmental and economic sustainability might be significantly improved by turning Nongsaya Lake into a green biodiversity zone.
