ITANAGAR, Jan 30: The state's lone conservation festival, the three-day Pakke Paga Hornbill Festival 2021 which remained a low-key affair this time around due to the ongoing covid-19 pandemic ended on January 20. 
Inaugurating the festival on January 18,  MLA Biyuram Wahge encouraged the students to participate in the literary competition organized by the festival committee adding that this will spark among other children the importance of conservation of flora and fauna.
80 students from the fringe villages of Pakke WLS & Tiger Reserve took part in the literary activities. This year the festival committee took the school children inside the Pakke Tiger Reserve for nature and bird watching and they were also briefed about the Bear Rehabilitation process at the Centre of Bear Rehabilitation and Rescue Centre by the officials of Wildlife Trust of India, which gave a glimpse of the critically endangered Asiatic Black Bear and its need for conservation. 
The festival was supported by Wildlife Trust of India (WTI, Noida), Alumni group of VKV (Seijosa chapter), DFO Pakke Tiger Reserve and ADC Seijosa.
