Under Congress, rhino poaching in Kaziranga was at its peak.
Today, it’s nearly zero. A strong testament to our govt’s conservation efforts for these gentle giants.
Our Rhinos. Our Pride. Our Promise.

We are excited to announce that on July 24, 2025, our beloved Asiatic lioness, Kesari, gave birth to four healthy cubs at the @assamzoo.
Asiatic lions are native to India, with the last remaining wild population residing in Gujarat. We are sharing this wonderful news today on #WorldLionDay, making the occasion even more special.
This birth marks a significant step in the conservation of this endangered species.

🙏Grateful to Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri @himantabiswa sir for your visionary leadership and unwavering support for science-driven conservation. 🐦🌿
Your encouragement inspires us to push boundaries and elevate Kaziranga’s conservation efforts to new heights!
Just a while back, Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji in #MannKiBaat spoke about the @kaziranga_ Grassland Bird Survey.
This first of its kind exercise found out that 43 species of birds are inhabiting the vast grasslands of Kaziranga and enriching its biodiversity.

Grateful to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji for highlighting the @kaziranga_’s first ever Grassland Bird Survey in today’s #MannKiBaat.
The first-of-its-kind exercise recorded 43 grassland bird species, enriching our understanding of this iconic landscape.
With today’s mention in #MannKiBaat, Kaziranga’s global prominence as a haven of biodiversity and avian richness has found even greater global recognition.
Kaziranga’s first census for birds illustrates how human effort and technology can do wonders in furthering nature conservation.

Proud moment for Assam!
A new species of day gecko has been discovered from the banks of the Brahmaputra and named “Cnemaspis brahmaputra” — a tribute to our mighty river that nurtures the biodiversity and identity of our region.
This discovery, published in the Taprobanica journal, marks only the second species of its kind recorded from Northeast India.
The Brahmaputra continues to inspire science, heritage, and pride.
Commendations to the entire research team for this significant achievement.
