Behind every moment of this festival were sleepless nights and silent efforts by us.Proud of my Team for organising such a flawless unique congregation of bird enthusiasts from across India and raising the bar high.Stay tuned for full documentary! @BirdWatchIndia@susantananda3
@veeruvishwa@ParveenKaswan Its not just about the ownership of the land, Fine must have been calculated on "Eco System" Services Values of a Tree. Ofcourse there was a violation of illegal cutting of such a large no. of trees. Yes, there can always be a debate on quantum of fine imposed.
Btw, this Hill Myna bird is quite a talkative bird & can immitate many sounds including of Humans.Hence, traded & kept illegally by many.But to sale or to keep this bird at home is a punishable offence & enjoys protection equals to Tiger or Elephant. @thebetterindia@drqayumiitk
Where conviction rate is extremely low, particularly in Wildlife smuggling cases across India, in a landmark judgement, 3 Years of rigorous punishment & Rs. 10,000/- fine awarded to accused arrested 9 months back only in smuggling of 7 Hill Myna in Alipurduar,WB. @ParveenKaswan
From arresting and unearthing this bird smuggling racket in the district & successfully prosecuting the case within 9 months, our Team of Buxa Tiger Reserve(East) Division worked reallly hard to get this done. Kudos to them. @rameshpandeyifs
Life is like a blend of different shades of colours ! Sometimes its bright, sometimes its dull and sometimes its simply white. A usual day in field. #FieldDiary#Nature#Forest
