@jayanta_malla sir pls look after this

[Nature's Bonyapran @nbonyapran]

Behali is still dying!
Behali wildlife sanctuary is the last pristine forest of Biswanath district still on the verge of extinction. In extreme north, a border-disputed area, rampant encroachment & deforestation continue to shroud the forest and threaten its rich biodiversity.

Pranoy Mahanta a Class 9 student from Behali sent me this cute video of playing elephants at the Behali Wildlife Sanctiary.

It is encouraging to see the wildlife enthusiasm in today's youth. Their passion drives Assam's relentless efforts in preserving our wildlife.

Every season, Assam has something magical to offer. The blooming Azar flowers add a surreal charm to the landscape, creating a scenic beauty beyond imagination.

So why not plan an unforgettable getaway to #AwesomeAssam!

Meet 15-year-old Pranoy Mahanta from Assam, a real-life wildlife warrior!

He patrols Behali Wildlife Sanctuary at night to stop poachers, has rescued injured birds, documented 150+ species & even wrote a book on it… all while still in school!

His viral elephant calf video caught the CM’s eye. Facing threats but never giving up for human-wildlife harmony.

[The Better India @thebetterindia]

He is just 15 and he fights poachers. At night.

Pranoy Mahanta has rescued injured birds, documented over 150 species, and written a book on Behali Wildlife Sanctuary-all before finishing school.

He has received threats. He continues anyway.

His video of an elephant calf went viral. But that's not why he does this. He does this because he believes humans and wildlife can coexist.

Swipe left to meet one of India's youngest wildlife warriors and #ForceForGood heroes.

Expanding faunal habitats 🐅

During regular patrolling, @BiswanathPol spotted a tiger at the 6th extension of Kaziranga National Park in Biswanath.

We are creating suitable habitats for our faunal friends and safeguarding them round the clock so that they continue to thrive.

[Himanta Biswa Sarma @himantabiswa]

When I was in Congress they entrusted me with the Health & Education Departments and I brought in a revolution in both these departments.

I think they deliberately kept me out of the Forest Dept because an inner coterie was running a well-planned poaching syndicate.
