Some Rare and Endangered Species found In Assam

As I am so in Love with Wild Animals and Coming from a Place like Assam admiring Nature makes much more sense I guess..So When I see the Wild getting depleted day by day I can’t stop myself but think how Humans have become cruel day by day then again I realize we Human now-a-days don’t even care for other Humans and the Question of caring animals doesn’t make any sense…What Say?

  1. Hi,
    I heard of one civet-like animal (or type of small/large Indian civet), but not the JOHAMAL (a civet having the smell of scented JOHA rice) called here in Assam – GERELA or GENDERA (The term GERELA is used for people who eats much & has a big tummy). This animals are heard of using common place of defecating and use to plugg their arsehole so that even in utmost bowl pressure they don’t need to drop excreta & can move to their common place for dropping (dunghill) – that’s why they are locally called HAGA GENDERS (HAGA means stool/defecation).
    Would u please let me know about this animal which, I heard, found only in Assam.

  3. Dear Mr Harsha,
    I came across this page as I was searching for the rare and endangered plants from the north east. The presentation is quite nice and well worked out. My interest was plants and the potential of tissue culture (TC) technique for multiplication and conservation. My TC method is the only one that even the common unemployed can make use of in their own home if they want. The total cost is also minimal. There is nothing to hide and I keep the photos and other write ups free for the people so that it might reach even through the copy cats.
    so forget about copy cats as they in turn send out the message at large.

  6. Hats off Harsha! Bringing awareness is the first step to save them! Since you are a native of Assam, I have a suggestion for you. It is to start a campaign in change.org link: http://www.change.org/en-IN , I think it would really work! It is the way for we common people to try to bring a change by getting united.

      1. You are welcome Harsha! Didn’t know you were Assam. It is a very special state for me, as I started my formal schooling from there — Narangi, Guahati to be precise. Dad was posted there and I still remember his unit members catching a huge python that we all had gone to see before they released it in the jungle.
