Taking Flight: Amur Falcons in Nagaland

Amur Falcons are seen flying above Pangti Village near Doyang reservoir under  Wokha district in Nagaland. The village, situated close to the Doyang reservoir gained notoriety in 2012 for large scale hunting of the birds. However, following concerted efforts from all stakeholders, the place has become a safe haven for the longest travelling raptors in the world. (Morung Photo by Manen Aier)
