Khawnglung Wildlife Sanctuary

The Khawnglung Wildlife Sanctuary was officially established to protect the region's rich biodiversity and prevent deforestation and poaching. The area has historically been inhabited by local Mizo tribes, who have a deep connection to the forest. The sanctuary's establishment aimed to balance conservation efforts with the needs of the local communities. Over the years, the sanctuary has faced challenges such as encroachment and illegal logging, but ongoing efforts by the forest department and local communities are focused on preserving its integrity. The sanctuary's name, 'Khawnglung,' has local significance, reflecting the area's cultural and natural heritage.
