Eco-tourism: Arunachal community leaders visit Assam’s Karbi villages

Guwahati: Aaranyak, a premier research-based organization focused on biodiversity conservation, recently organized a three-day exposure trip for a group of community leaders from the fringe of the Daying Ering Wildlife Sanctuary near Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh.

The trip was designed to educate and expose the leaders, including members of the Eco Development Committee (EDC), to the concept of indigenous community-managed eco-tourism and natural resource management.

The team from Arunachal Pradesh, led by the DFO of D’Ering WL Sanctuary, T Taga, was hosted by Aaranyak among the Karbi tribe villagers in Kohora River Basic, in proximity to Kaziranga National Park.
