  • Villagers, Scientists and Policy-Makers Unite to Conserve the Amur Falcon in Nagaland
    Villagers, Scientists and Policy-Makers Unite to Conserve the Amur Falcon in Nagaland Nick P. Williams For many decades, Amur Falcons (Falco amurensis) have been known to congregate in Nagaland, northeast India for a short period from mid-October to mid-November each year. The state appears to be a stop-over site during their annual migration from breeding grounds in Russia, China and Mongolia, to wintering areas in Southern Africa. Details have always been sketchy primarily because Nagaland was a closed state, with very few outsiders allowed access. In recent years, however, some entry permits have been granted and in 2012 a team from a non- Governmental organization (NGO) called Conservation India visited the Wokha region at the critical time. They documented huge concentrations of Amur Falcons roosting in the area. Worryingly though, the local villagers were harvesting large numbers for human consumption, including on a commercial scale with falcons being transported to be sold in markets far beyond the villages located near the roosts. Enormous congregation of Amur Falcons near Pangti, Wokha region in Nagaland – 7 November 2013 Conservation India launched a hard-hitting publicity campaign to highlight the harvest which galvanized interest and condemnation from ornithologists and the general public across the world. The Amur Falcon is covered under the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) and are also fully protected by national legislation in India. This was illegal harvesting on a scale that appeared wholly unsustainable. The Indian Government acted immediately, in concert with the Nagaland Forest Department. An armed Forest Patrol Force was deployed to visit the area, remove the nets used to trap the falcons and to release any captive birds that were found alive.

  • Films from Northeast India: a Cultural Ecology Perspective
    © 2021 JETIR March 2021, Volume 8, Issue 3 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) FILMS FROM NORTHEAST INDIA: A CULTURAL ECOLOGY PERSPECTIVE Debolina Mukherjee1 1 Assistant Professor, Department of English, St. Joseph’s College, (A) Jakhama ([email protected]) Films from Northeast India are fairly new areas of research that is gaining quick momentum, especially with films from this region being screened at various National and International Film Festivals and also bagging National and International awards. Nature and the indigenous life of the people from this region are intricately linked and this intimacy with nature is reflected in films. Films from this region can help in understanding the complex man-ecology relationship at a time when most environmental narratives are inclined towards portraying an anthropocentric, ecological apocalyptic vision of the world. This paper examines a culture and ecology that are both endangered and yet unexplored, that is new and yet very old, that is on the threshold of the liminality of body/mind, nature/culture, spirit/life, the same nature of which is reflected in films like Village Rockstars, Rong’kuchak (Echoes), III Smoking Barrels and The Pangti Story (documentary). KEYWORDS: Culture, environment, Northeast India, & films. While writing about his film Rong’kuchak (Echoes), Dominic Sangma, a director from Northeast India stated “I remember when I was a kid we would shout out to the forest and it would call us back. I asked my father the reason for it, he told me it was a voice of our forefathers that was responding to us.” Since archaic beginnings, humans have construed their life and living in relation and in (inter) dependence to the physical environment.
