Notification of new National Park in Kokrajhar fulfilled recommendation of UNESCO World Heritage Site committee
The gazette notification of Raimona National Park in western Assam’s Kokrajhar district has boosted the protection of the Greater Manas Landscape besides fulfilling the recommendation of the UNESCO World Heritage Site committee, wildlife experts said. The Assam government on June 9 notified Raimona and Dehing-Patkai to take the State’s count of National Parks to seven. The others are Kaziranga, Manas, Nameri, Orang and Dibru-Saikhowa. Kaziranga and Manas were declared World Heritage Sites in 1985. But while Kaziranga maintained its status and continued to upgrade, Manas slipped because of extremism-linked poaching and felling of trees before getting back on track a few years ago.
