Assam's Kaziranga National Park has added another achievement to its name. After extensive research conducted by Dr. Monsoon Jyoti Gogoi, a young lepidopterist from Kaziranga, 446 butterfly species have been discovered in the park. This makes Kaziranga the second hub of butterfly diversity in India, following Namdapha National Park in Arunachal Pradesh. Gogoi, who has been studying butterflies since 2007, has also published a comprehensive guidebook showcasing the 446 butterfly species found in Kaziranga. Among these discoveries, 18 species are new to India, such as the Burmese Threering, Glassy Cerulean, and Dark-bordered Hedge Blue. These findings highlight the importance of butterflies in Kaziranga's conservation efforts, alongside the park's famous 'Big Five' species. A Butterfly Conservation Meet took place from September 27 to 29 this year, attracting 40 butterfly enthusiasts from various parts of the country. The event featured discussions on butterfly taxonomy and emphasized the need for conservation and habitat protection efforts at Kaziranga. Dr. Jyoti Gogoi expressed pride in these accomplishments, emphasizing the significance of this record-setting discovery.The remarkable diversity of species in Kaziranga National Park is notable due to its location outside the Himalayan and Patkai mountain ranges. In addition to the national park, the Panbari Reserve Forest in Kaziranga is also a habitat for a diverse range of butterfly species. This national park in Assam spans across Golaghat, Sonitpur, Biswanath, and Nagaon districts. It is renowned for housing two-thirds of the world's Indian rhinoceros population and holds the status of a UNESCO world heritage site.
