How To Reach Manipur Zoological Garden

Imphal, Manipur, India
A Sanctuary for Manipuri Wildlife: The Manipur Zoological Garden, inaugurated on October 2, 1976, is a crucial conservation and public education center situated in the Iroisemba area of Imphal. Spanning over a moderately sized area of approximately 8.17 hectares (over 20 acres), the zoo's primary an d most celebrated mission is the ex-situ conservation of the state's highly endemic and critically endangered species, particularly the Sangai (brow-antlered deer), the state animal of Manipur. The zoo has successfully maintained a small captive breeding population of the Sangai, which is found only in the floating phumdis (biomass) of the Keibul Lamjao National Park on Loktak Lake. Visitors can observe this magnificent and graceful deer in a near-natural habitat enclosure. Beyond the Sangai, the zoo houses a diverse collection of local and exotic fauna, including various species of primates, reptiles, and birds, many of which are endemic to the North-East Indian region. It also serves an essential educational purpose by promoting awareness about wildlife conservation among locals and tourists. The environment is generally green and well-maintained, providing a pleasant, semi-forested retreat for families and nature lovers, focusing heavily on preserving and showcasing the unique faunal diversity of Manipur, making it an important conservation landmark.
