Nameri is about 9 km from Chariduar, the nearest village.[1] Nameri shares its northern boundary with the Pakhui Wildlife Sanctuary of Arunachal Pradesh. Together they constitute an area of over 1000 km2 of which Nameri has a total area of 200 km2.[2] EtymologyThe park was declared a reserve forest on 17 October 1978. It was set up as a Nameri Sanctuary on 18 September 1985 with an area of137 km2 as a part of Naduar Forest Reserve. Until then the Nameri National Park was heavily used for logging. Another 75 km2 was added on 15 November 1998 when it was officially established as a National Park. The Jia Bhoroli river of Assam was famous since the time of British for the golden mahseer angling.[3] FloraThe vegetation type of nameri is of semi-evergreen, moist deciduous forests with cane and bamboo brakes and narrow strips of open grassland along rivers. The forests are rich in epiphytes, lianas, and creepers and clump-forming bamboo.[2] This forest has over 600 species. Some notable species are Gmelina arborea, Michelia champaca, Amari, Chukrasia tabularis, Ajar, Urium poma, Bhelou, Agaru, Rudraksha, Bonjolokia, Hatipolia akhakan, hollock, Nahor. It is home for orchids like Dendrobium, Cymbidium and Cypripedioideae.[3] FaunaThis is excellent elephant country and was considered to be an elephant reserve. It is an ideal habitat for a host of other animals including the tiger, leopard, sambar, dhole (the Asiatic wild dog), pygmy hog, Indian wild bison, clouded leopard, leopard cat, muntjac, gaur, wild boar, sloth bear, Himalayan black bear, capped langur and Indian giant squirrel. Nameri is a birdwatcher's paradise with over 300 species. The white winged wood duck, great pied hornbill, wreathed hornbill, rufous necked hornbill, black stork, ibisbill, blue-bearded bee-eaters, babblers, plovers and many other birds make Nameri their home.[4] Conflicts and threatsNameri faces two threats: One is due to continued official logging in the area of Sonitpur. The major threat for Nameri is human/animal conflict due to around 3000 cattle grazing the forest.[4] The other human/animal conflict is due to the vast group of elephants in Nameri. There were several cases of elephant deaths. In 2001 there were 18 elephant deaths.[5]A great threat is possessed on this protected area because of poachers who hunt the valuable birds for their wings. {{wide image|NAMERI_NATIONAL_PARK_,_ASSAM,_INDIA,_Wild_Life.jpg|900px|Nameri National Park}}References{{commons category}}1. ^Tourism.webindia123.com 2. ^1 {{Cite web|title=An ornithological survey in north-east India |accessdate=2011-06-27 |url=http://scholar.google.com/ |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140131002221/http://scholar.google.com/ |archivedate=2014-01-31 |df= }} 3. ^1 {{Cite web| title = Press Information Bureau English Releases| accessdate = 2011-07-08| url = http://pib.nic.in/newsite/erelease.aspx?relid=48616}} 4. ^1 {{Cite web|title=Nameri-Aassam |accessdate=2011-07-07 |url=http://projecttiger.nic.in/nameri.htm |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110925073610/http://projecttiger.nic.in/nameri.htm |archivedate=2011-09-25 |df= }} 5. ^{{Cite web|title=PROTECTED AREA UPDATE |accessdate=2011-07-08 |url=http://wiienvis.nic.in/paupdates/update33.rtf |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111001225147/http://wiienvis.nic.in/paupdates/update33.rtf |archivedate=2011-10-01 |df= }} External links
