Pakke Tiger Reserve, Arunachal Pradesh Situated in East Kameng district of the Western part of Arunachal Pradesh with itâs headquarter in Seijusa, Pakke is a pristine and most stunning landscapes teeming with some of the most secretive and rare species of fauna and flora. This relatively new Tiger Reserve which had witnessed rampant hunting and felling a decade ago has now registered a commendable turn around with the initiative of the forest department and the local communities. In a significant move in September 2006, heads of sixteen villages had passed a resolution listing various penalties for wildlife violations and following which the villagers have been keeping a strict vigil in the reserve. The 16-member committee has been working for protection of the Pakke Tiger Reserve in conjunction with the forest department. This initiative is very innovative in approach and a marked departure from the conventional practice of conservation since, the local people, mainly comprising Nyishi tribe, respects the Gaon Burahs (village chiefs) for their wisdom and traditional values, their role is important as they can persuade people to use the natural resources sustainably. Pakke Tiger Reserve falls within the Eastern Himalaya Biodiversity Hotspot. It is home to over 2000 species of plants, 300 species of birds, 40 species of mammals, 30 species of amphibians and 36 species of reptiles. Many species of the flora and fauna are globally threatened, and PTR is one of the last remaining strongholds left for these species. The area can be truly termed as âHornbill countryâ, as four species of Honbill are found here. The endangered White Winged Wood Duck is not uncommon too.
