PASIGHAT, Jan 22: The new Deputy Commissioner of East Siang District, Tayi Taggu who is on two day visit to the D. Ering Wildlife Sanctuary today said that the sanctuary needs more public and government support as wildlife in unprotected forest areas are rapidly declining due to excessive hunting.
While visiting the DEWS’s Borguli Wildlife Range, one of the major wildlife habitat of the riverine sanctuary, Taggu, a wildlife enthusiast himself has been discouraging hunting. “The D. Ering Wildlife Sanctuary is a beautiful place to visit to refresh the mind and to spend time with nature. Tourists need to visit this sanctuary which holds many species of wild animals and birds to see. This is a good destination for research on birds and animals," he said.
Taggu is being accompanied by Executive Engineer, PWD, Mariyang Division, A. Burang, DFO Wildlife, Tasang Taga, Range Officer i/c Borguli Wildlife Range, Orin Perme and other Eco-Development Committee members like M. Tayeng, O. Modi, N. Tasing and Orem Gao.
While EE PWD, A. Burang batted for early introduction of elephant and Gypsy safari in the sanctuary for uninterrupted tourists visits. He also suggested for constant surveillance of the sanctuary’s core zone and hunting prone zones by drones.
DFO Wildlife, Tasang Taga sought more support from the District administration to sensitize the fringe villages, especially the Gaon Burahs on wildlife conservation.  
The official hoped that the government will extend more support in protecting the sanctuary’s rich flora & fauna by sanctioning adequate funds and male field staffers of Forest Guards and Foresters.
