Phulbani: The land of mystic waterfalls

Katramal Waterfalls at a height of around 95-100 feet is nestled in the hinterlands of the Phulbani forest division, about 17 kms from a little known village Katringia, seemed like a seventh heaven on the outskirts of this tribal belt. The water level was a bit low but still the neighbouring splendour of the place almost made me hold my breath for a few seconds.

Chilika to be Global Model


BHUBANESWAR: A visiting team of Ramsar Convention, an international treaty for the conservation and sustainable utilization of wetlands, on Tuesday felt Chilika is emerging as a global example for its successful livelihood model and ecosystem. It was of the view that other wetlands in the world should replicate the Chilika model.

"The scientific advisory panel of Ramsar Convention has come to see the best practices we have introduced to sustain the lagoon's biodiversity since 2000. The success of Chilka will form the basis for making further guidelines to maintain wetlands all over the world,”

He said growth of fish production without disturbing the ecosystem, development of eco-tourism and improved livelihood of the communities dependent on the lagoon are three significant components that impressed the Ramsar panel.
