Satellite-Tagged Amur Falcons Complete Migration, Return to Manipur After Crossing 23 Countries
Two satellite-tagged Amur falcons, Apapang and Alang, have returned to Manipur after completing a nearly year-long migratory journey across 23 countries in Asia and Africa. Tagged by Wildlife Institute of India scientists in November 2025, the birds arrived from northeastern China and will spend two to three weeks in Manipur's Tamenglong district before continuing a 6,000-km nonstop flight to Somalia. Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav highlighted the significance of tracking these long-distance migrants and the role of local communities in their protection.
