Proud moment for ATREE as Dr. Monsoon Jyoti Gogoi has documented an impressive 446 butterflies species from Kaziranga, making it the second highest butterfly diversity of protected areas in India, after Namdapha. Of these 18 species are new additions to India's butterfly records.

During rains, snakes like the Himalayan bronzeback tree snake (Dendralaphis biloreatus) face deadly roads. Inhabitants of trees,they risk crossing roads for safer habitats or breeding. Not just snakes—amphibians, insects, and reptiles are vulnerable too.
