  • Kaziranga Under Threat
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Kaziranga Under Threat Biodiversity Loss and Encroachment of Forest Land MAYURI GOGOI Vol. 50, Issue No. 28, 11 Jul, 2015 Mayuri Gogoi ([email protected]) teaches at the Department of Social Work, University of Delhi. Several highly polluting industries—stone quarries, oil refinery, parasitic rubber plantations—as well as encroachment from locals, are adversely affecting the biodiversity of the Kaziranga National Park in Assam. This article looks at how decisions taken in the past to establish regionalist claims over resources and industry have proved detrimental to the conservation efforts of Kaziranga. Introduction The Kaziranga National Park (KNP) is a world renowned protected area in Assam nestled on the banks of the river Brahmaputra in the foothills of the Karbi Anglong (KA) Hills. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and famous as one of the few remaining places with a substantial population of the Asiatic one-horned rhinoceros. The park is spread over two districts—Golaghat and Nagaon—with majority of the area falling within the administrative boundaries of Golaghat. The forests surrounding KNP form a contiguous landmass spreading across the neighbouring KA district and offer prime habitat for wild animals in the Kaziranga-Karbi Anglong Landscape (KKAL). In recent years, KNP is battling a host of problems such as rhino poaching, erosion and flood. As against this, forest areas outside the park’s jurisdiction are getting increasingly exposed to onslaughts of unplanned and unmindful anthropogenic activities. There have been massive changes in land use in the KKAL, significantly altering the topography of the region and disrupting the well-being of animals and humans alike.

It is a highly complex phenomenon and important human activity of great significance. Historical tourism is one of the branches of tourism which has immense potentiality in Assam in general and Upper Assam in particular. Upper Assam, presently comprising seven districts, is endowed with rich heritage and glorious history stretching from the ancient to modern period which provide a wide background and great prospect for historical tourism. Ancient relics of the Doyang and Dhansiri valley, medieval historical sites, temples and monuments, modern legacies of the British rule and elements of heritage and cultural practices in different parts of the region can attract both domestic and international tourists. The promotion of the tourism industry can bring a tremendous change to the society and economy of this underdeveloped region. However, tourism fails to flourish here in spite of great potentiality and resources for a variety of reasons such as poor publicity, lack of proper preservation, weak infrastructure, failure of the govt. and private sector to promote the industry etc. This study aims at focusing on the historical assets of upper Assam and to find out the ways to overcome the impediments hampering the growth of tourism.
