Amur Falcons Conservation at Doyang Lake
Question
Which of the following statements with regard to the arrival of Amur Falcons at Doyang Lake in Nagaland each year from Mongolia is/are correct?
Select the answer using the code given below :
Options
1 only
1 and 2
2 and 3
3 only
Explanation
Only statement 1 is correct. The annual migration of Amur Falcons to Doyang Lake in Pangti village, Nagaland, highlights successful community-led conservation, where local initiatives transformed a stopover site from a hunting zone into a protected sanctuary. Statement 2 is incorrect because tracking systems (like satellite telemetry) allow researchers to monitor migration paths but do not actively guide the birds' natural biological navigation. Statement 3 is incorrect because these falcons use the site as a temporary stopover to feed before flying across the Indian Ocean to Africa, rather than becoming permanent residents in India.
