Manipur: Flora & Fauna
Blessed with an amazing variety of flora and fauna, 67% of the geographical area of
Manipur are hill tracts covered with green forests. Churachandpur
and Tamenglong districts in particular have vast areas covered
with bamboo forests. In a small area of about 22,000 sq. km,
Manipur has alpine forests of pines, grasslands and meadows
at Dzuko and Shirui, coveted the world over. Some of the most
beautiful and precious blooms and orchids abound in their natural
habitat spreading their beauty and colour, stunning eyes that are
not used to seeing them in such profusion.
There are about 500
varieties of orchids
which grow in Manipur
of which 472 have
been identified.
The
Hoolock Gibbon, Slow
Loris, Spotted Linshang, Mrs. Hume’s
Barbacked pheasant, Blyths Tragopan,
Hornbills, etc. form only a small part of the
rich natural heritage of Manipur. Nong-in
is the State bird of Manipur.
