In a landmark step toward ecological restoration and sustainable development, the Department of Fisheries, Longding, has launched its first-ever River Ranching Program at the Tewai and Teru Rivers.
In the presence of Hon’ble Minister Shri Gabriel D Wangsu, over 90,000 fingerlings, including species like Rohu, Katla, Mirga, and more, were released into the rivers.
This initiative is designed to:
✅ Revive native fish populations
✅ Enhance biodiversity and protect aquatic ecosystems
✅ Promote sustainable fishing and support local livelihoods

What are two ecological benefits that greater biodiversity provides?
A wide variety of species in an ecosystem provides an ecosystem with greater resistance to disease and pest outbreaks. Plants help protect soil from erosion. Bacteria, insects, plants and other living creatures release nutrients and help keep soils fertile.
