Sendenyu Community Biodiversity and Wildlife Conservation Committee said during the public meeting held September 12, at Sendenyu village, the members has unanimously decided to continue ban on hunting in Sendenyu for an indefinite period.
Banned on hunting in Sendenyu village land expired in September this month.
The meeting was attended by the Village Councils of Sendenyu, Sendenyu New and Thongsunyu, Sendenyu Youth Organisation, Sendenyu Union members from Dimapur, Kohima, Tseminyu, general public and Church leaders.
As a result of community bio-diversity conservation and wildlife protection activities initiated by the village community, there has been a visible increase in wildlife population in the area.
The increase in wildlife population also posed risk to human population and increase in human-animal conflicts.
However, to address this issue, a Committee headed by the Head GB of Sendenyu has been constituted.
