The mammal was first spotted in Anjaw district by scientists of the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) earlier this year, and it was published in the February 3 issue of the international peer-reviewed journal 'Animal Gene'. The mammal is the newest addition to the list of primate species found in the Indian subcontinent, the official said. Before this, the white-cheeked macaque was found in Modog in southeastern Tibet in 2015, West Kameng district Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Chukhu Loma said. Anjaw is barely 200 km in aerial distance from where it was first spotted in Modog in China, he said.

म्यांमार की सीमा से लगे भारत के सुदूर पूर्वी कोने में अरुणाचल प्रदेश में है नामदाफा नेशनल पार्क और टाइगर रिजर्व। निहायत ही खूबसूरत और कुदरत की नियामतों का अनमोल खजाना। पहुंचना उतना सहज नहीं और शायद इसी वजह से यहां प्रकृति ने अभी अपना रंग कायम रखा है। लेकिन इसके बावजूद यहां कई ऐसे जानवर हैं जो दुर्लभ हैं। अरुणाचल प्रदेश का चांगलांग जिले में स्थित यह नेशनल पार्क 1983 में टाइगर रिजर्व बना दिया गया। लेकिन इस पार्क की सबसे ज्यादा ख्याति इस बात में है कि यह दुनिया का अकेला पार्क है जिसमें जंगली बिल्ली की चार बड़ी प्रजातियां एक साथ मिल जाती हैं- बाघ, तेंदुआ (लेपर्ड), स्नो लेपर्ड और क्लाउडेड लेपर्ड। इसके अलावा भी कई अन्य छोटी जंगली बिल्लियां इस जंगल में हैं। इसकी एक वजह यह भी हो सकती है कि लगभग दो हजार वर्ग किलोमीटर इलाके में फैले इस नेशनल पार्क की समुद्र तल से ऊंचाई भी 200 मीटर से लेकर 4571 ...

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Monday hinted that the state will reopen for tourists after October. Attending a virtual programme organised by the central government, Khandu said that the tourism sector has suffered a lot in the last six months due to the COVID-19 pandemic which affected the livelihood of thousands of people and dented the state's revenue. "Tourism is one major source of revenue and employment. Keeping all considerations in mind, we will be re-opening the sector. If everything goes well, after October we will be open to visitors," he said at the Destination North East programme. Destination North East is a calendar event of the Ministry of Department of North Eastern Region (DoNER) showcasing the region's rich heritage, diversity and tourism ...
