So today let me share story of Amur Falcon, a bird which crosses Himalayas enroute to India from Mongolia & Arabian Sea for going to Africa. This bird covers 22,000 KMs flying. One of the nature’s amazing wonder. In Nagaland they come in hundreds of thousands & stay for some time 
With onset of winter come to Nagaland. Recently a study was conducted. Where a male Amur Falcon named ”Naga”, flew from Nagaland to Somalia in E Africa, crossing the entire subcontinent & Arabian Sea, for five days and 10 hours non-stop and covering a distance of some 5,600km.
Since a million Amur falcons arrive in Nagaland, it is also called as Amur falcon capital of the world. They were also hunted in thousands there. Communities played a prominent role in connecting these guests. Now hunting has stopped.
Since for coming to India they have to cross Himalayas, they have special adaptations to take this hard journey is such low oxygen level. Imagine birds crossing highest mountains on earth flying. This video explains it.
Animals & birds don't recognise borders. That is why we have #Bonn convention on protection of #Migratory species. Where India is a respected member. So that all can be conserved. Can fly free like these Amur falcons. Pic courtesy given. Study by WII, Nagaland govt, BNHS & NGOs.
