Dimapur, July 5 (EMN): Altogether 47 individuals and groups have come forward to adopt animals at the lone Nagaland Zoological Park, Rangapahar, since October 2015 till June 30 2017.
Adoption of Animal in NZP was initiated by Fingerprint, Dimapur, and Castle Group, Kohima, in 2015 with the collaboration of Department of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. The concept is to help improve the facilities at NZP and provide sufficient feeds to the animals by means of adopting an animals and paying a symbolic fees for one year.
Continuing with the initiative, Fingerprint has appealed to all concerned citizens to adopt animals in the zoo. To clear doubts on why would any citizen pay money for such venture when it is owned by the government, Fingerprint reasoned that as Nagas continue to donate wild animals to the zoo but none have donated the feeds for such donated animals.
Stating that we don’t contribute to clean drainage and repair roads to improve our travels even thought we know that there is a department to look after such problems, Fingerprint said we do so many community services to help our fellow being when there are departments for every such problem.
It, therefore, asked why wouldn’t we adopt and preserve animals at NZP when it is the only zoo in the whole State and pride of Nagaland, the only place worthwhile for tourist attraction in Dimapur. In this regard, it encouraged every individual, schools, firms, associations, groups etc to come forward and adopt animal to help improve NZP.
For adopting an animal at Nagaland Zoological Park, Dimapur, it asked to visit its office at Duncan, Dimapur or call phone nos. 9612741780 and 9612302731.
