Ziro, May 11: The Hari Youth Organization (HYO) marked Himalayan Bird Count Day on Saturday in collaboration with the Arunachal Birding Club and Ziro Birding Club. This initiative underscores HYO's ongoing commitment to preserving wildlife, flora, and fauna, while discouraging hunting and poaching in the region.
