YEJM approaches Governor on the issue of holding facilities for smuggled exotic animals
Aizawl, the 28th October 2022: The representatives from the Youth for Environment Justice Mizoram(YEJM) met Governor Hari Babu Kambhampati at the Raj Bhavan today.The YEJM
representatives briefed the Governor that many exotic animals are being smuggled through Mizoram for South East Asian countries for sale in destinations outside Mizoram. As per their report, these animals are often retrieved from smugglers by various law enforcement agencies.
However, they expressed their concern for the well-being of the retrieved animals that are being kept temporarily at makeshift rescue centers set up at the zoo and other enclosures. They alleged that the retrieved exotic animals are being poorly looked after and poorly fed. For a temporary solution, the YEJM proposed the constructions of holding facilities for retrieved exotic animals at Aizawl city and Champhai town.
The YEJM representatives also expressed their concern over the possibility of infecting the domestic animals and the state wildlife population by these exotic animals with the diseases they can potentially carry. In this connection, the YEJM requested the Governor to intervene and take up the matter with the concerned departments.
Governor shared his appreciation that the youth of Mizoram are now showing their concern for activities that are directly or indirectly affecting the environment of Mizoram. He urged the YEJM as a movement to keep up the good work in connection with the protection of the environment in Mizoram. He advised the YEJM and other associations with these objectives to take up the issue of plastic waste thrown into the rivers as one of their top priorities.
The YEJM was represented by Pi Vanramchhuangi, Convener, Pu Lalrinfela, Spokesperson, and Pi Malsawmkimi.
