The Centre has decided to develop the Doyang lake in Nagaland as an eco-tourism spot for bird-watchers.


1. The lake is famous as a roosting site for longest travelling raptors Amur Falcons.
2. Amur falcons are the longest travelling raptors in the world and come to Doyang every year in millions.
3. Amur falcons, weigh just 150 grams and cover 5,600 kms, flying non-stop in five days from Mongolia to arrive in Nagaland.


Until recently, Naga tribesmen used to hunt thousands of Amur falcons for meat. But last year, after a vigorous campaign by wildlife activists, they pledged to protect the bird and since then, not a single bird has been hunted in the area.
