Nagaland is undertaking the first avian documentation exercise to go beyond Amur falcons.
The four-day Tokhü Emong Bird Count (TEBC) has been timed with the post-harvest Tokhü Emong festival of the Lothas.
Nagaland is a State with diverse festivals and diverse birdlife.
The TEBC is the first of initiatives where the community is encouraged to celebrate the festival with birds.
The event is a collaboration among the Wokha Forest Division, the Divisional Management Unit of the Nagaland Forest Management Project (NFMP) and Bird Count India.
