Explanation
In November 2016, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) constituted a four-member team to visit Loktak Lake in Manipur. The team was tasked with reviewing the ecological status and management of the lake, which is a designated Ramsar site and the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India.
Key focus areas for the team included assessing the impact of the Ithai Barrage on the lake's ecosystem, the conservation of the Keibul Lamjao National Park (the world's only floating national park), and the protection of the endangered Sangai deer (brow-antlered deer). The team also examined the management of phumdis (heterogeneous masses of vegetation, soil, and organic matter) and the livelihood of local fishermen. Loktak Lake is significant as it is currently listed on the Montreux Record due to ecological changes.
