From rathreya@NCRA.TIFR.RES.IN Sun Dec 14 14:34:05 2003 Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2003 16:42:23 +0530 From: Ramana AthreyaTo: nathistory-india@Princeton.EDU Subject: Bird tour to Arunachal Pradesh This is an effort to raise money for a good cause and no profit to myself and so I hope the list will forgive me for using it. I did run it past the moderator. ----------- I invite birders to join a birding trip to Arunachal Pradesh, north-east India. The money raised will be shared by the indigenous tribe there to improve their basic community facilities and by a biodiversity/development project I am leading in that area. I will not be charging a personal fee for the guiding. Over 20 days we will visit localities between 100m and 3200m altitude close to the eastern border of Bhutan. There is on offer an impressive assemblage of birds (430+ species at the last count) and some of the most sought-after at that. During previous visits I have encountered tragopans, 4 species of wren-babblers including the wedge-billed and rufous-throated, all 3 species of tesias, many raptors, 4 hornbill species, redstarts, finches, leiothrixes, myzornis, spectacular mixed flocks of tit-babblers, yuhinas, flycatchers, parrotbills and tits (birdlist attached). Last month I watched a loose flock of 16 (thats right - 16!) Ward's trogons flutter across a clearing, one of 4 times I encountered the spectacular rarity. This remote, rarely-visited and little-documented corner of India is one of the principal biodiversity hotspots of the world ... and hence our project. In addition to birds one can see butterflies of myriad hues and some exotic mammals - red panda (I watched one for over 45 minutes), himalayan black bear, several monkey species, flying squirrels, serow and even elephants which reach their highest altitude here at 3200m - to name only a few. I would also strongly recommend a 5-day trip to Kaziranga National Park in Assam that I can organise. The lure of over 400 bird species - of marshes, swamps and woodland - many different from those in Arunachal is reason enough for visiting Kaziranga but the park is justly more famous for its megafauna : rhinoceros (almost guaranteed), wild buffalo and swamp deer, all 3 highly endangered mammals, apart from elephants, many deer species and even tigers. The combined trip has on offer over 600 species of birds and we expect to see not less than 300 of them - and possibly much more, limited only by the energy, motivation and enthusiasm of the visitors themselves. The dates will have to be either Feb 26-Mar 21 (requires a very quick decision to obtain permits) or Mar 23-Apr 16 (recommended). The cost will depend on the number of participants (limited to 2-6); the standard deal costs Rs. 4000 per person per day (approx. US$ 90) for a group of 6 for the Arunachal section. This includes all permit/entry fees, all transport from Guwahati to Guwahati, accommodation, meals, logistical support and contribution to the local community and project fund. The cost would be somewhat lower for Indians as their entry fees are significantly cheaper. There is also some scope for flexibility in dates, duration and costs provided I get a cohesive group which can agree on the alternatives. We are also exploring the possibility of offering a less expensive option for students (naturally with a significant reduction in comfort) - contact me. Kaziranga has a wider range of accommodation and transport options and I can provide an estimate based on your preference (again, my guiding will be for free). Our project goals are (i) mapping the temporal and altitudinal distribution of birds over a full year and subsequently of butterflies, herpetofauna and mammals and (ii) providing the local Bugun tribe with resources essential for *independently* running a community-based eco-tourism venture:- trained bird guides, stake-outs for "specialities", images, bird call recordings, etc. The fruits of eco-tourism rarely reach the communities who are called upon to give up their claims over the forest "for-the-common-good" and who desperately need money to fund such basic amenities as schools, medical facilities, potable water and domestic fuel. In keeping with our aim the logistics of the trip will be organised by a non-profit local NGO employing local people and purchasing from the local market as far as is possible. All the profit will stay within the area.
