On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we celebrate India's rich natural heritage and reaffirm our commitment to conservation.

Home to over 70% of the world's wild tigers, India has emerged as a global leader in wildlife conservation through sustained efforts in habitat protection, species recovery, technology-driven monitoring, and community participation.

Tiger reserves not only secure the future of our national animal but also conserve critical ecosystems that support biodiversity, water security, carbon sequestration, and climate resilience.

As we mark #EnvironmentDay today, let us renew our pledge to remain 'Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future.'

Nature is our greatest ally in the fight against climate change. Every tree we plant, every ecosystem we restore, and every sustainable choice we make strengthens our collective future.

Let us work together to build a greener, cleaner and more resilient India for generations to come.

[Bhupender Yadav @byadavbjp]

Over the last 12 years, under PM Shri @narendramodi ji's environmentally sensitive leadership, India has made great strides in wildlife conservation.

At a time the world is losing wildlife, India continues to ensure they thrive and prosper.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

A century as far as Ramsar sites are concerned!

Glad that the Jai Prakash Narayan Bird Sanctuary (Surha Tal) in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh has been designated as India’s 100th Ramsar site. This wetland is rich in avifaunal biodiversity, attracting several migratory and resident birds.

India’s unwavering commitment to protecting our natural surroundings and wetlands in particular is clearly reflected in this feat.

Over the years, efforts to conserve and rejuvenate wetlands have been strengthened through greater community participation, science, innovation and awareness initiatives. These endeavours are helping preserve biodiversity, secure ecological balance and create a greener future for coming generations.

[Chief Minister Assam @CMOfficeAssam]

From classrooms to the wild, Assam’s next generation is becoming nature’s next guardians.

Guided by the vision of HCM Dr. @himantabiswa, the ‘Manas Mitra Programme’ connected 1,537 students with wildlife conservation awareness, while 150 students and 25 teachers experienced educational jungle safaris inside Manas National Park.

More than 1,500 students from schools located around the fringes of the Manas National Park have been introduced to wildlife and ecological conservation through a series of awareness programmes organised by forest authorities.

The outreach activities were conducted under the “Manas Mitra Programme” (Friends of Manas), an initiative launched by the authorities of Manas National Park and the tiger reserve to strengthen community participation in conservation efforts.

Field Director C Ramesh said the programme was launched on November 14, 2024, at the Bansbari range on the occasion of Children’s Day, with a focus on engaging students and youth in environmental awareness activities.

“Since its launch, the programme has aimed at promoting understanding about the ecological importance of the Manas landscape and encouraging local communities to take part in wildlife conservation,” the Field Director was quoted by PTI.

As part of the initiative, nature orientation sessions have been organised since February this year in villages located around the reserve. The programme covered 22 schools and reached a total of 1,537 students.

The sessions highlighted the biodiversity and ecological significance of the tiger reserve while also creating awareness about wildlife protection and conservation. Students who participated in the programme were also given animal masks and customised pencils as souvenirs.

Manas National Park and Tiger Reserve has intensified its community outreach efforts through the Manas Mitra Programme, an initiative aimed at strengthening ties between local communities and wildlife conservation through educational activities and nature-based experiences for students.

Launched on November 14, 2024, at the Bansbari Range on the occasion of Children’s Day, the “Manas Mitra Programme” — meaning “Friends of Manas” — seeks to promote conservation awareness among people living in fringe villages surrounding the reserve, with a special focus on students and youth.

The initiative reflects ongoing efforts to build grassroots support for conservation by involving younger generations and local stakeholders in preserving one of India’s most ecologically significant protected areas.

Located at the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas, ✨Manas Tiger Reserve✨ in Assam was first notified as a wildlife sanctuary in 1928, declared a Tiger Reserve in 1973, and later inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It takes its name from the Manas River (named after the Hindu snake god Manasa ), which flows from Bhutan into India, carving a landscape of floodplains, grasslands, and evergreen forests. Its forests range from tropical semi-evergreen and moist deciduous to riverine grasslands- habitats that sustain an astonishing diversity: tigers, elephants, rhinos, wild water buffalo, golden langurs, clouded leopards, and the world’s last remaining population of wild pygmy hogs. Manas is also a Biosphere Reserve, Elephant Reserve, and Important Bird Area. Beyond its natural splendour, Manas is home to the Bodo and other indigenous communities, whose songs, weaving, and forest traditions reflect an age-old harmony with the land.

✨मानस टाइगर रिज़र्व✨, असम में पूर्वी हिमालय की तलहटी में स्थित है। इसे 1928 में वन्यजीव अभयारण्य के रूप में अधिसूचित किया गया था, 1973 में टाइगर रिज़र्व घोषित किया गया, और बाद में इसे यूनेस्को विश्व धरोहर स्थल के रूप में मान्यता प्राप्त हुई। इसका नाम मानस नदी से पड़ा है, जो हिंदू सर्प देवी मनसा के नाम पर रखी गई है। यह नदी भूटान से भारत में प्रवेश करती है और अपने प्रवाह के साथ बाढ़ के मैदान, घास के मैदान और सदाबहार जंगलों वाला परिदृश्य बनाती है। इसके वन उष्णकटिबंधीय अर्ध-सदाबहार, आर्द्र पर्णपाती, और नदी तटीय घासभूमि जैसे विविध आवासों से मिलकर बने हैं, जो अद्भुत जैव विविधता का पोषण करते हैं - बाघ, हाथी, गैंडा, जंगली जल भैंसा, स्वर्ण लंगूर, तेंदुआ और दुनिया में शेष एकमात्र जंगली पिग्मी हॉग आबादी यहाँ पाई जाती है। मानस को जीवमंडल आरक्षित क्षेत्र, हाथी अभयारण्य और महत्वपूर्ण पक्षी क्षेत्र के रूप में भी मान्यता प्राप्त है। प्राकृतिक सौंदर्य से परे, मानस बोडो और अन्य आदिवासी समुदायों की भूमि भी है- जहाँ के लोगों के गीत, बुनाई कला और वन परंपराएँ भूमि और प्रकृति के साथ उनके प्राचीन सामंजस्य को आज भी जीवंत रखे हुए हैं।

Manas National Park and Tiger Reserve (MNP & TR) on Wednesday concluded a landmark international training programme aimed at revolutionising the management and welfare of captive Asian elephants. Held from February 1 to 4, the initiative brought together experts from the Australian charity Human-Elephant Learning Programs (HELP) Foundation, alongside teams from Kaziranga National Park and the Wildlife Trust of India (WTI).

The HELP Foundation team worked intensively with a select group of “Master Mahouts” from Manas and Kaziranga, focusing on welfare-friendly practices that replace traditional methods with positive, pressure-release reinforcement.

Field Director of Manas National Park, Dr C Ramesh, IFS, stated: “At Manas, we are proud to be at the forefront of elephant welfare, implementing world-leading and scientifically backed methods. This collaborative effort shows what sustained and positive outcomes can be achieved when we work together.” Mark Trayling, Chair of the HELP Foundation, underscored the bond between Australia and India in wildlife protection.

On #WorldWetlandsDay, water saucers created with #APFBC funding in @manasnptr are cleaned & replenished with fresh water for wildlife. In the water-scarce Bhabar tracts, these structures function as micro-waterbodies—helping animals quench their thirst & regulate body heat. 💧🐾
