How can community-led initiatives like Mission ‘Pun:lek’ foster sustainable tourism and environmental conservation in Arunachal Pradesh?

Mission 'Pun:lek’, launched in Bodak village under Mebo Sub-Division, East Siang District, is an inspiring example of how a community’s effort can reshape its environment. By planting various ornamental and flowering species, this initiative seeks to turn Bodak into a breathtaking floral destination. Not only will it enhance the village's natural beauty, but it will also attract more tourists, fostering local pride and economic growth. ‘Pun:lek’ is derived from ‘Appun Alek’ which means (group of flowers).
