Dear Sir,
Northeast Centre for Environmental Education and Research (NECEER), Imphal
is going to organise a Worldwide Save Loktak Lake Campaign at 10 plus cities
all over the country and selected cities in North America and Europe on 7th
March 2010. We are looking for partners for the campaign in the city who
could support and help in organising the event in the city. I on behalf of
NECEER, would like to request YOUR ORGANISATION to be our partner at
Delhi/National/Worldwide Campaign. The campaign is an attempt to create
awareness about the treats and need for conserving this natural heritage of
Manipur. NECEER, Imphal has been organising campaigns for the conservation
of endangered species and fragile ecosystems of Manipur for the last few
years.
Loktak Lake is the largest fresh water lake in Northeast India. It has an
area of 300sq km and has been recognised as Ramsar site in 1990. Keibul
Lamjao, the only floating national park in the world is situated at the
south west part of the lake. It is home to the endangered Manipur brow
antlered deer 'Sangai' - *Cervus eldi eldi* and many plant species.
The lake has been a main source of income and sustenance for inhabitants of
the area. For the last few decades the lake has been facing all round
destructions due to both natural and anthropogenic activities. Rapid
expansion of Phumdis, siltation, pollution, agriculture and adverse effect
from Loktak Hydropower Project are some of the main problems which had led
to an alarming destruction of the lake.
*The campaign will be also be organised at the towns in the vicinity of the
lake ie., Bishenpur and Thoubal.
