One wild dog rescued by EFG organization from Kangching village in Longleng district on April 15 was donated to Nagaland Zoological Park (NZP), Dimapur, on April 16.
EFG Director, Keduolhoukho Chadi said the main objectives of the rescue was to create awareness to the people about the endanger species which are almost extinct due to human cruelty towards wildlife. Stating that EFG alone could do nothing, he however said with cooperation of every individual in protecting wildlife and environment would give greater impact towards the maintaining ecological balance. He said the present generation should be responsible in ‘word and work’ to achieve the goal.
