Although community hunting was traditionally regarded as a means of livelihood by many local people, the continued efforts of the state government were successful in convincing them to give up airguns and ensure a safe and healthy environment for the state’s fauna .

Arunachal Pradesh is home to a wide range of flora as well as wildlife. From snow leopards to tigers and elephants, the state is also home to rare species of birds.

The hunting of animals, sometimes for meat and sometimes for the illegal trade in animal parts, threatened the rich ecology of the region.



However, with proper awareness and efforts of the state government as well as many civil societies, the state has once again become a safe home for animals.
