The Governor of Manipur graced the grand finale of the 71st Wildlife Week Celebration held at the City Convention Centre, Imphal, organised by the Forest Department under the theme “Human–Wildlife Co-existence.”

During the event, the Governor launched the Manipur Bear Conservation Project, released a book titled “Flight, Fur & Fangs – Encounters with the Wilderness of Manipur Forests,” and unveiled FRAMS, a new forest monitoring system developed in collaboration with NESAC (ISRO).
