How do birds navigate across continents, even in darkness? 🐦🌍 New research suggests iron-rich immune cells in their liver may act as a biological compass, helping them sense Earth’s magnetic field. Nature’s hidden technology is truly incredible! #BirdMigration #Science

A major step towards reviving Assam’s grassland ecosystems. Under the leadership of HCM Dr. @himantabiswa, Assam has marked a significant conservation milestone with the inauguration of the State’s first dedicated grass nursery at Manas Tiger Reserve. With 16 native grass species cultivated for habitat restoration, this initiative will play a vital role in restoring degraded grasslands and strengthening the ecological future of one of India’s most important wildlife landscapes.

A mesmerizing scene has unfolded at the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Manas National Park, where golden langurs continue to enchant visitors. Recently, in the Bansbari Range, a tourist captured a particularly tender moment between a mother and her baby- a sight that has left domestic and international visitors spellbound. Renowned for its rich biodiversity, the park remains a premier destination where herds of these rare animals can be easily admired in their natural habitat. @manasnptr #ManasNationalPark #GoldenLangur #PragNews

Not all heroes wear uniforms. Some walk through forests 🐘 Today, Manas Tiger Reserve honoured veteran elephants Pramila and Purnima with a Guard of Honour, traditional gamochas and a ceremonial farewell, recognising years of dedicated service to wildlife conservation. As they retire with honour, five newly trained elephants begin their journey in service of our forests and wildlife.

A dash to freedom🐗 The release of 15 pygmy hogs into the wild at Manas National Park under the Pygmy Hog Conservation Programme marks another milestone in our efforts to restore fragile grassland ecosystems and protect one of the world's rarest wild pig.

One of the greatest stories in conservation... reintroduction of both Rhinos and Swamp Deer to Manas from Kaziranga have been successful. Rhino population has crossed 50 and Swamp Deer has crossed 200. Similar effort required to boost hog deer numbers @assamforest @manasnptr

Back to the wild! 15 captive-bred pygmy hogs have been released into the Kuribeel grasslands of Manas National Park yesterday on June 7. Once feared extinct, the world’s smallest and rarest wild pig is making a remarkable comeback. With plans to release 80 more hogs over the next five years to rebuild a thriving wild population of 300 by 2040. #PygmyHog #ManasNationalPark #ConservationSuccess #Assam #WildlifeConservation

Two veteran camp elephants of Assam's Forest Department, Pramila and Purnima, were accorded a ceremonial farewell at Manas National Park and Tiger Reserve on June 8 after years of service in wildlife conservation. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the elephants were honoured with a guard of honour, traditional gamochas and a special farewell ceremony in recognition of their contribution to forest protection and conservation efforts. Forest personnel, mahouts and conservation staff participated in the event, celebrating the role of camp elephants in anti-poaching operations, wildlife monitoring, habitat management, rescue missions and ecotourism activities. The elephants, dressed in traditional attire, were taken in a procession before receiving the ceremonial send-off. The Forest Department also inducted five newly trained elephants — Manalisa, Raja, Bubul, Bijoy and Birshing — into service. The elephants underwent a three-month training programme under experienced mahouts, where they were trained in commands, patrolling protocols, field operations and interaction with forest staff. According to officials, the new recruits will assist in anti-poaching patrols, wildlife monitoring, habitat management and other conservation activities in Manas. The retired elephants will continue to receive lifelong care and veterinary support from the Forest Department. #assam #TheAssamTribune @manasnptr @assamforest @CMOfficeAssam

World Environment Day at Manas NPTR🍀 Through awareness, plantation drives and collective action, we renewed our commitment to conserving biodiversity and safeguarding our natural heritage for future generations. Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future. #nowforclimate

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. #WorldEnvironmentDay2026 #TigerConservation #ProjectTiger #AmritKaalKaTigerVision2047 Photo Credit- Dr. G.S.
