Nagaland Zoological Park, Conservation zoo in Dimapur district, India
Description
Nagaland Zoological Park is a conservation facility covering an extensive area in Dimapur district that houses animals found in northeast India's forests and regions. The site contains animals of different species that together represent the diversity of wildlife from this part of the country.
History
Official recognition came in 2008 when the Central Zoo Authority of India approved this facility, making it the first major conservation institution of its kind in the state. This approval represented a turning point for wildlife protection and education in Nagaland.
Culture
The facility serves as an educational hub where students and visitors come to learn about regional wildlife and conservation practices. For many people in Nagaland, it offers a direct connection to the animals and ecosystems of their own land.
Practical
The facility is generally open to visitors most days, though it closes on certain days for animal care and maintenance work. Comfortable footwear is recommended since you will walk through an open landscape to view the animals.
Did you know?
