In news- Recently, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change notified the eco-sensitive zone (ESZ) of the Deepor Beel Wildlife Sanctuary. The notification specified an area “to an extent varying from 294 metres to 16.32 km” as ESZ.

About the sanctuary-

  • It is a permanent freshwater lake, in a former channel of the Brahmaputra River.
  • The name Deepor Beel is derived from the Sanskrit word dipa which means elephant, -r means “of” and bil means wetland or large aquatic body in Assamese language, inhabited by elephants.
  • It is claimed that Beel was an important dockyard of the Tai-Ahom as well as the Mughals. 
  • Aquatic vegetation include Giant Water Lily, water hyacinth, aquatic grasses, water lilies and other submerged, emergent and floating vegetation.
  • The beel is a natural habitat to many varieties of birds and largest congregations of aquatic birds can be seen, particularly in winter, like Spot-billed pelican, lesser adjutant stork, Baer’s pochard, greater adjutant stork, Siberian crane.
  • It is Assam’s only Ramsar site.
  • Considering the richness of the bird varieties found in the beel, the BirdLife International has declared Deepor Beel as an Important Bird Area (IBA) with high priority for conservation.
