History Of Manipur Zoological Gardens

Imphal, Manipur, India
The Manipur Zoological Gardens, established in 1976, is fondly known as the "Jewel Box" of the state due to its collection of rare and endangered species. Located at the foot of the pine-covered hillocks of Iroisemba, it provides a sylvan environment that mimics the natural habitat of the animals. The star attraction here is the Sangai (Brow-antlered deer), which is one of the rarest deer species in the world. The zoo is spread across a lush green area and is managed with a focus on conservation and captive breeding. Apart from the Sangai, the zoo houses over 55 species of birds and various mammals including the Hoolock Gibbon, Slow Loris, and Himalayan Bear. The layout of the zoo is designed to be a walking trail, allowing visitors to enjoy the flora as much as the fauna. It serves as an educational center for children and researchers interested in the biodiversity of the Indo-Burma hotspot. The surrounding paddy fields and hillocks add to the aesthetic appeal, making it a popular weekend spot for families. The zoo also plays a critical role in rehabilitating injured wildlife from the nearby forests. It is a must-visit for anyone wanting to see Manipur's unique wildlife up close without the rigors of a forest trek.
