Help required to end hunting massacre in Nagaland, India
On November 1st, national online campaigning organisation Conservation India broke the shocking news of an appalling massacre of thousands of migrating Amur Falcons Falco amurensis that had recently been trapped for sale in the remote state of Nagaland in the north-east of India.
Taking advantage of the falcons’ habit of concentrating in huge numbers during their migration, local hunters have been spreading nets across vast areas of the birds’ forest roost sites, capturing them en masse and then keeping the often-injured Amurs alive, until they might be killed and sold as fresh food. The recent trapping and slaughter appears to have been taking place on an ‘industrial scale’ and unless stopped will clearly have a devastating affect on the birds’ global population at these unsustainable levels.
Please note this video that documents the massacre contains some extremely disturbing footage.
Such is the reach of today’s social media that this emotive story went viral within hours and during the next few days, news quickly spread around the world shocking all who read about the Amurs’ plight. Conservation India’s highly effective campaign has already helped galvanise local, national and international action.
The rate of population decline of resident vultures in India and Nepal has slowed, but populations remain low and vulnerable: here.

Welcome to the comment boxes here 🙂
Yes, this bird killing should stop, and I hope that the big publicity on the Internet will help to stop it. I don’t think that the killing was just for pleasure, it was for economic reasons I think. If the birds are not hunted, then people in the area might get a livelihood from ecotourism etc. This should be pointed out in Nagaland.

Thank you so much! I hope that through your blogging now, from Armenia and elsewhere, there will come support for the Indian bird lovers fighting against this outrage. What these hunters have done is also against Indian laws, so the government should be on the conservationists’ side.

Thank you, Arlen, for all you do! Of course, Conservation India is the original source of the alarm about this crime. The Nagaland people might be much better off with ecotourism to this migration of big groups of thousands of falcons.
Do Amur falcons occur in Armenia?

No, but we have other rare species of falcons in Armenia.

Maybe red-footed falcons, Amur falcons’ closest relatives?
