Explanation:
Orang National Park
Orang National Park is known for its population of Rhino and Tiger. It is sometimes referred to as Mini Kaziranga. The National Park has now been renamed and is officially called the Rajiv Gandhi Orang National Park. The forest was declared a Wildlife Sanctuary in 1985 and later as a National Park in 1999. The park is situated on the north bank of the Brahmaputra in Darrang & Sonitpur districts of Assam with an area of 78.80 sq. km.
The Park is situated at a distance of 32 km from Tezpur. Guwahati, the capital of Assam is also 3 hours drive away. The nearest airport is Salonibari airport in Tezpur. The nearest railhead is at Rangapara.The Orang National park is the home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. The tiger population is estimated to be quite large here. The other major animal, the Great Indian One Horned Rhino (Rhinoceros unicornis) is also quite substantial in number. The actual population had come down due to poaching in the past, in recent time there has again been an increase in the Rhino numbers. The other main animal species in the park include Asiatic elephant, hog deer, wild boar. Small mammals like civets, leopards, hare, and porcupines are also in a substantial number. The river is also home to the rare Ganges Dolphin.
The avifauna population is also quite rich with the reported sighting of more than 222 species. There are migratory birds, water birds, predators, scavengers and game birds in the park. The Bengal Florican, Spot-billed Pelican, Black-necked Stork, Greater Adjutant Stork, Lesser Adjutant Stork, Wooly-necked Stork, Ruddy Shelduck, Gadwall, Mallard, Pintail, Pallas's Fishing Eagle etc can be seen here.
Answer:
like all alluvial systems, the riparian habitat of the Brahmaputra is created and
maintained by silt deposited by overflowing of the banks. Deforestation in the upper
catchments of tributaries and the main river has resulted in heavy silt loads and
subsequent reduction in the depth of the river bed, slowing of flow and erosion of banks.
Changing dynamics disrupts successional stages of vegetation.
There is a need to value natural resources for the tangible benefits they provide
as watersheds and clean environments, that in turn impact lives and livelihoods.
Indiscriminate damming of rivers in the North-east will have unforeseen and negative
impacts on the environment and communities, as seen in examples like the Ranganadi
in Lakhimpur. Drying up of rivers will in turn impact all the wetlands fed by seasonal
flooding and on which both resident and migratory wildlife depend The systematic encroachment of forest areas has resulted in Assam having the
highest rate of forest loss in the country. Unless government policy takes into account
the value of forests and preserves them for the long term good of the region and
country, forest loss and the associated loss of biodiversity is inevitable. Eco-tourism
may be a viable incentive for local communities to protect wilderness areas, but these
have to be planned in a scientific manner with the help of experts to be of minimal
impact and maximum value.
Landscape planning for forest and wildlife conservation is the way forward. Currently,
conservation strategy is to preserve the already isolated patches of forest and maintain
status quo. With all the attendant pressures on such isolates, it is not possible to
envisage a long term future for our forests, rivers and wildlife. In Kaziranga, attempts
ate on to protect the Brahmaputra river islands to connect separated patches. Further
upstream, Kobo Chapori, a proposed reserve forest under Dhemaji division, represents
a crucial wildlife corridor connecting the forests of Arunachal Pradesh, Poba RF of
Assam, D’ering WLS and Dibru-Saikhowa NP. It is important to secure these key
linkages sooner rather than later.
Another conservation measure that has borne fruit at several sites is education,
awareness and community involvement in conservation. Although it takes time to show
results, sustained effort for conservation awareness and the buy-in of the community is
crucial to the long-term conservation of Brahmaputra wildlife and wildernesses.
