Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has appealed the people of the State to change their mindset over wild hunting, saying that it was high time to shun the destructive practices to save the natural ecosystems.

Attending the “Air Gun Surrender Ceremony” conducted at Pasighat JN College auditorium on Saturday, Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu urged the people to take pledge to stop consumption of wild-meat during festivals or any other occasion.

“Arunachal Pradesh is a tribal state and the tribal traditions are related to wild animals. So the people realized that wild beasts should be conserved for the future generation”, Pema Khandu said adding that wild lives are necessary to keep ecological balance in nature.

Pema Khandu observes that the natural ecosystem is under threat due to rampant hunting of wild beasts. He appealed to the community leaders, PRI members, students, Gaon Burahs, NGO functionaries to teach common people to stop hunting and deforestation activities and save mother earth from environmental degradation.

“Hence the state is marching ahead on the track of development, so the people give up the primitive natures like wildlife hunting”, he added.

Addressing the occasion, Union Minister of State for Sports & Youth Affairs Kiren Rijijusaid the domestic and foreign tourists come to the state to see the scenic beauty and natural forests and wild beasts.

State’s Forest Minister Mama Natung said he has taken up the noble initiative with Chief Minister Khandu’s advice. He is hopeful that surrender of air guns and other firearms is their primary effort to prevent further killing of wild birds and other wild animals. The minister said that the state government will formulate policy to ensure protection of the wild lives in the state.

“The government policy for protection would not be effective until people support it in true sense”, he said.
