The Beel supports some globally threatened species of birds like Spot billed Pelican (Pelecanus philippensis), lesser Adjutant Stork (Leptoptilos javanicus), Baer’s Pochard (Aythya baeri), Palas Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster), Greater Adjutant Stork (Leptoptilos dubius). The Deepor ecosystem harbours large number of migratory waterfowl each year. The Siberian crane (Grus leucogeranus) regularly migrates to this habitat on its annual journeys. In addition to this avian diversity, the wetland is also a store-house of diverse faunal species. The Deepor Beel was declared a Ramsar Site (No.1207) in November, 2002. Introduction conservation, supports an appreciable assemblage of rare, vulnerable and endangered species or subspecies of plant or animal or an appreciable number of individuals of any one or more of these species. It has a special value for its endemic plant or animal species or communities; it regularly supports substantial numbers of individuals from particular groups of waterfowl indicative of wetland values, productivity or diversity. It is a part of high biological diversity, with over 400 recorded vertebrate species. Deepor Beel is the largest natural wetland of lower Assam having great biological and environmental importance. It is located within the coordination of 90036’39'’ to 91041’25"E and 26005'26" N to 26009'26" N and lies on 165-186 feet above MSL. It is endowed with rich floral and faunal diversity. Besides huge congregation of residential water birds, the Deepar Beel ecosystem harbours large numbers of migratory waterfowl Avian Diversity each year. Hence, Deepor Beel attracted large numbers of During a study conducted by the ornithologist, tourists and nature author in Deepor Beel Ramsar site, lovers.

VIPNET NEWS 7 October 2008 / Vol. 6 / No. 10 International Year of Planet Earth 2008 The availability of nymph species in the wetland ecosystem indicates that, the productivity is quite high in some pockets of the wetland. Molluscan Diversity Study sampled altogether 4878 individuals belonging to 5 different molluscan species in six study zones of Deepor. The species Corbiculus assamesis was recorded only very trace numbers, whereas, the species Bellamy bengalensis was found to be the most abundant molluscan fauna in Deepor Beel. Again, the species Pila globocus and Lymnea acuminate were almost equally distributed throughout the wetland. Zooplanktons The study sampled altogether 64 Zooplankton species belonging to 6 different planktonic groups, in Deepor Beel Ramsar site, those were such as Protozoa (16 species), Rotifera (30 species), Cladocera (11 species), Copepoda (4 species), Ostracoda (2 species) and Insecta (1 species). The abundance of different zooplankton species was found to vary among different groups in different seasons of the year. Among protozoan, the species Paramacium sp. was the dominant species and peak was found during retreating monsoon, whereas, in Cladoceran, the species Moina brachiata was the dominant species and peak was found during winter season. Again, in Copepoda, the Nauplius larvae dominate the group, whose peak was found during retreating monsoon. The Centrocypris sp. was the dominant Ostracoda and Chaoborus sp. the lone Insecta was found distributed throughout the year. Threats Tothe Wetland The intensive fishing activities and heavy hunting pressure on water birds have been creating serious disturbance to the wetland ecology. Large numbers of water birds are netted illegally during the winter months for consumption and as well as for sale in the local markets. The adjacent forests areas are being felled to supply timber to the sawmills, leading to heavy erosion, which in turn is causing rapid siltation in the Beel. Pesticides and fertilisers widely used in the adjacent agricultural lands enter the lake through runoff. The fertilisers have accelerated eutrophication and infestation with Enchornia crassipes is now becoming a serious problem. Settlements and permanent agriculture are steadily encroaching on the wetland and reducing the extent of the marsh vegetation.The major threats are summarized as follows: (1) The construction of railway lines along the southern and eastern boundary of the Deepor Beel divides the Deepor into two half, which has expedited wetland enchroachments. (2) Establishment of Industrial Estate within the northern and western periphery, growing Brick kilns and extensive soil cutting in the fringe areas leading to pollution of the Beel and is threatening this Ramsar Site (3) Recent establishment of the City garbage center at the heart of eastern boundary at the Boragoan area has lead to heavy pollution of the Beel water. (4) Large-scale encroachment of the government and as well as private owned low lying area of the Deepor Beel Ramsar VIPNET NEWS 8 site for settlements, institutions and business shops, has been seriously effecting the wetland ecosystem. (5) Hunting, trapping and killing of wild birds and mammals within and adjoining areas of Deepor Beel is also destroying the overall biodiversity. (6) Unplanned fishing practice without controlling mesh size is also leading to the extinction of many indigenous fish varieties. Proposed Measures for Conservation of the Wetland (a) The existing area of the Deepor Beel Bird Sanctuary (proposed) should be increased from 4.14 km2 to 40 km2 by adding the highland and low-lying area up to Assam Engineering College Campus and Assam Police Radio Organization Campus in the Northern boundary and Garbhanga Reserve Forest in the Southern Bank. This additional inclusion of land will help to support the nesting and roosting habitat of most of the residential and migratory waterfowl as well as small and large mammals. (b) The effectiveness of the Deepor Beel system as a storm water detention basin for Guwahati city should be preserved and the increasing pressure of storm runoff from the city to the Beel should be lessened through creation of additional storage capacity in the naturally depressed areas within the greater metropolitan area. (c) The city runoff, which includes sewage, should be treated before being discharged into the Deepor Beel system. (d) The Plantation Programme should be started in highland within the Bird sanctuary to create breeding ground of residential waterfowl. (e) Plantation Programme along the Railway line by the side of the Deepor Beel Bird Sanctuary should be initiated immediately. The Plant species such as Bamboo speciesBambusa tulda, B. balcooa, B. arundinacea and tree species such as Kadam- Anthrocephalus kadamba, Simul-Bombax ceiba, etc. should be included. (f) Extensive land cutting, brick making factory and industrial development should be stopped within and surrounding areas of the Deepor Beel. (g) All forms of government settlements should be stopped immediately and area should be preserved as a natural landscape.

VIPNET Photo Quiz - 31, VIGYAN PRASAR, A-50, Sec. 62, Noida Correct Answer of Photo Quiz 29 The picture shown in the Photo Quiz 29 is Fig fruits which are bellshaped, with a wide, flat bottom narrowing to a pointed top. When the fruit ripens, the top may bend, forming a “neck.” Fig are soft sweet fruit, full of small seeds and often eaten dried. Fresh figs are delicious and often jam and chutney is made from them. Figs can be brown, purple, green, yellow or black, and vary in size. The skin of figs is very thin and ripe figs can’t be kept or transported very well. They are often dried for preservation, since the fresh fruits are highly perishable. The fig is believed to be indigenous to western Asia and to have been distributed by man throughout the Mediterranean area. Name of Winner: Himanshu S.
