Srinagar, October 12

Governor NN Vohra here today stressed the need for a larger awareness for protection of environment to meet the challenges of environmental and climatic changes that were bound to pose “real danger” in the future.

Vohra was addressing the valedictory function of a three-day international conference on Conservation of Hangul and Endangered Deer Species at the SKICC here today. The conference was organised by the Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (SKUAST) in collaboration with the Wildlife Institute of India. It was inaugurated by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday and attended by over 150 delegates from within and outside the country.

Various themes were deliberated upon during the five technical sessions with an aim to bring together deer experts to present and discuss their research findings and share their experiences and scientific knowledge in effective management and conservation of endangered deer species.

He said wildlife constituted the vital organ of eco-system and its “welfare is seminal to human sustenance itself”.

“The learned society has always shown a concern for this. However, too often reality struggles to reach its potential. This needs concerted efforts on part of all planners, researchers and executioners concerned,” he said.

Referring to the conservation of Kashmir stag and endangered deer species at global level, Vohra said it had to be measured in terms of the status of the species in the eco-system.
