- The Assam Forest Department released a booklet documenting the butterflies of the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) in Assam.
- The 3,653 sq. km. Bodoland forest landscape supports 346 butterfly species out of Assam's 620 recorded species, including many rare, endemic, and threatened species.
- The region lies at the meeting point of the Indo-Malayan, Eastern Himalayan, and Indo-Gangetic biogeographic zones, making it one of Northeast India's richest butterfly habitats.
- Butterflies are important pollinators, indicators of ecosystem health, and supporters of forest biodiversity and food webs.
- The booklet is based on years of scientific research by Bodoland University, the Northeast Butterfly Meet Network, and other regional butterfly experts.
