The Chief Wildlife Warden of Nagaland, Satya Prakash Tripathi stressed on the importance of protecting the environment. He briefed the gathering about how the earth’s environment is gradually degrading with unplanned developmental activities. He also exhorted the gathering to be pro-active participants in the fortnight long observation of Swaach Bharat Mission from June 1 to 15.
Caroline Kaurinta, IFS, from the Wildlife Division urged the gathering to be a champion of environment by contributing and maintaining healthy environment in their own locality. She maintained that plants and animals can survive without human being, but human being cannot survive without them; hence, illegal activities towards wildlife and forests cannot be tolerated by any sensible person.
Cleaning and planting of fruit bearing tree seedlings were also carried out in and around the Forest Protection Camp.
