A beautiful sight of the Deo Haah (White-winged Wood Duck), Assam's State Bird and one of the world's rarest ducks, in its natural habitat at Nameri Tiger Reserve. Through habitat restoration and scientific conservation efforts under APFBC Phase-II, Nameri has emerged as a vital refuge for this critically endangered species, paving the way for a state wide conservation strategy in Assam. 📷 Antony Grossy #WhiteWingedWoodDuck #AssamsStateBird @assamforest @namerinptr
