National Socialist Council of Nagalim or the NSCN (I-M) has reaffirmed its standing order on the ban of any kind of hunting in and around Zailad Region.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, NSCN (I-M) said that the biodiversity is threatened by anthropogenic factors worldwide. “Roughly there are around 5600 species of animals and 30,000 species of plants protected by CITES (Conventional on International Trade in Endangered Species). Excessive wildlife hunting leads to extinction and disruption of ecosystem. Wildlife has been hunted and traded for centuries, locally and internationally for consumption, ornamentation, clothing and medicine. Flora and fauna found in and around Zailad Region is a gift of Mother Nature”, stated the outfit.
