ITANAGAR, 28 Jul:<\/strong> Principal Chief Conservator of Forest RK Singh released a book on moth species of Tale Wildlife Sanctuary in a simple function here on Wednesday.<\/p>\n The book, authored by founder trustee of Dehradun-based Titli Trust, Sanjay Sodhi; Arunachal Pradesh Pollution Control Board Member Secretary Koj Rinya and Pune-based research scholar Pratibha Riswadkar, is the first-ever exhaustive compilation on moths from any protected area of Arunachal Pradesh.<\/p>\n The book covers more than 400 species of moths with good illustrations and has been designed for use by both experts and enthusiasts.<\/p>\n Tale Wildlife Sanctuary, located about 25 km from Ziro in Lower Subansiri district is well-known among butterfly and moth enthusiasts. It is also the home to just recently discovered Apatani Glory (Elcysma ziroensis) moth, which has been named after the local Apatanis.<\/p>\n Moths are crucial in the natural world as pollinators and play an important role in the natural ecosystem.<\/p>\n However, unlike their cousins, butterflies, which are relatively well studied, moths are a much ignored faunal group.<\/p>\n This book is another asset for the state and would go a long way in serving the cause of researchers, enthusiasts and tour guides of the state.<\/p>\n The senior officers, including DFOs from various divisions, attended the function.
