Calls to Extend Kaziranga National Park’s Eco-Sensitive Zone Amid Wildlife Migration
Eco-Sensitive Zones (ESZs) serve as protective buffers around areas like Kaziranga National Park to minimize human impact on fragile ecosystems. Established under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, guidelines recommend a 10-km ESZ to safeguard wildlife and habitats. However, the current ESZ around Kaziranga has been reduced to 1 km, despite evidence of year-round wildlife migration to nearby Karbi Anglong hills, highlighting calls for extending the buffer zone to better protect animal movement and ecological balance.
