Biodiversity of Nameri National Park and Tiger Reserve as a Tourist Attraction Place, Sonitpur District, Assam, India

Nameri National Park and Tiger Reserve, located in Assam, encompasses approximately 344 square kilometers of ecologically significant terrain along the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas. The protected area features diverse tropical semi-evergreen and moist deciduous forests, extensive river systems, and high floristic and ecological complexity.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the ecological, environmental, and commercial characteristics of Nameri National Park and Tiger Reserve. The study examines the physical landscape, terrain types, soil composition, including Chapori formations, and extensive river systems such as the Jia-Bhorali, which collectively define the physiographic characteristics of the park.
Second, the study emphasizes the park's remarkable biological richness and ecological value by highlighting the existence of over 600 plant species and several animal species, such as tigers, elephants, and several rare bird species. Thirdly, it assesses the scenic landscape, distinct forest ecosystems, particularly tropical semi-evergreen and moist deciduous forests, and unique wilderness characteristics that contribute significantly to the park’s environmental value. Fourthly, the study examines Nameri’s potential and existing status as an important tourism destination, with activities such as jungle trekking, river rafting, and angling contributing to its recreational and commercial significance. In addition, the study identifies major challenges affecting the reserve, including illegal poaching, hunting, seasonal monsoon flooding, and inadequate infrastructure, which require effective mitigation and management strategies to ensure long-term conservation and sustainable development.
