Northeast India is known for its rich biodiversity and multiple indigenous varieties of medicinal and aromatic plants. The exotic flora and fauna of the region is immensely popular with travellers, nature lovers, trekkers and soul seekers.
World Nature Conservation Day is celebrated on July 28 every year to build awareness about preserving the fragile ecology, and protection of endangered species and rare plants.
Earlier this month, the minister had shared a video of Goa's splendid Dudhsagar falls during the monsoon. Located amidst the pristine beauty of the Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary, Dudhsagar ('sea of milk') is formed by the River Mandovi and gushes over the mountains of the Western Ghats at a height of 1017 foot before splitting into four spectacular streams.
During monsoon, the Dudhsagar falls are fed by rain, resulting in a huge gush of water. The area around Dudhsagar falls is covered with deciduous forests and has a very rich biodiversity.
