World Environment Day is celebrated on June 5 every year to remind people about the importance of nature. It is celebrated across the globe to tell people that nature should not be taken for granted and must be respected for its values.
With the coronavirus outbreak and people being confined indoors, the environment and mother earth seem to have benefitted slightly. In the absence of human activities amid the coronavirus-induced lockdown, nature is getting time to clean itself and reclaim its space.
History of World Environment Day
World Environment Day is one of the biggest annual events organized by the United Nations (UN) to generate awareness about the significance of nature and greenery. The United Nations Assembly established World Environment Day in 1972, which was the first day of the Stockholm Conference on the human environment.
In 1974, it was celebrated with the theme 'Only One Earth'. Since then, various host countries have been celebrating it, and the idea for rotating the center of these activities started. World Environment Day was first observed in 1974 in the US.
The theme for this year is 'Reimagine. Recreate. Restore'.
Topic of activity is VIRTUAL VISIT TO ANY PLACE.
A VIRTUAL VISIT TO KAZIRANGA NATIONAL PARK
Kaziranga National park is exactly the kind of place where ‘Nirvana seekers’ achieve their wisdom from the perfect balance of tranquility and adventure or beauty and wilderness. It is one of a kind of world heritage sites where world’s two third of one horned rhinoceros roam around freely often accompanied by gigantic elephants or dwarfish pigs or deers. The blissful wildlife sanctuary dream is only disturbed by the ferocious tigers who come out of their shelters to seek some yummy meat and that is all that defines Kaziranga life!
Kaziranga National Park is the one which is located in civil districts of Nagaon, Golaghat and Sonitpur of Assam, India.
It is situated at the floodplains of mighty river Brahmaputra and so the park gets routinely flooded which basically help the park habitat to maintain its maximum productivity and sustaining wild animals at high densities.
The unique National park and World heritage site has long elephant grasses and has been successful in conserving Great Indian one horned Rhinoceros, Royal Bengal Tiger, Asian Elephant, Wild buffalo and swamp deer and many other species.
World largest population of Great Indian one horned Rhinoceros and Wild Buffalo is here at Kaziranga wildlife sanctuary so many so that you can see these exotic animals roaming freely around here.
You really don’t need any reasons to visit such exotic locations in your own country which will not only fill you with ever lasting adventures but also connect you with your own soul.
This 1002sq km national park is also a paradise for bird lovers. As it is an important bird area with more than 480 species of birds including 25 globally threatened species.
Elephant safari is a must for any traveller. Though you can enjoy jeep Safari into the Kaziranga National Park too. Both have different flavours though.
Best Time to visit Kaziranga
As Kaziranga has tropical weather which gets hot and humid during summers and rest of the time it’s flooded so the best time to visit Kaziranga National Park is from November to April.
How to Visit Kaziranga
Nearest airport is Jorhat where Jet Airways and Indian Airline flights are easily available. Guwahati is some 250Kms so the road trip can easily be planned from there which will provide you some nature fresh views of swinging coconut trees and Banana trees throughout the way.
Most of the road journey is on NH37. It will take nearly 5 hours to drive down there from Guwahati. Also all the major airlines are connected with Guwahati Airport which is connected to Kolkata Airport for international arrivals.
But in this year virtual visits are recommended as they are more safe in this covid-19 period and it can be done through your laptop or mobile phone, just be sure to have good internet connectivity.
ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN VIRTUAL VISITS
Today is the era of technology and in this covid-19 period, no one wants to go out to protect themselves from the virus, but everyone wants to explore new things, visit new places, and its all possible because of science and technology, because of it, students are able to study, virtually visit new places, learn new things.
