Arunachal Pradesh, one among the seven sisters of North-eastern India is to witness an important festival that would focus on preserving rare species native to the region.
The ‘Mithun’ (Zoological name: Bon Frontalis) faces near extinction due to mass slaughter during native festivals in the region. The commercial consumption of ‘Mithun’, which also reportedly yields 1.5 liters of milk equivalent to three-liter milk of a hybrid cow, needs to be saved from its genocide to highlight the importance of its conservation; a two day festival by the Center for Cultural Research and Documentation (CCRD) will start on May 28.
The festival named ‘Bon Frontalis Festival 2010’ would center on its cultural significance and conservation.
To know more about the semi-domesticated animal usually found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam, tourists may bookmark the event on their itinerary.
