The village of Shirui in Manipur, India, has decided to ban the killing and hunting of animals and birds for three years. This is the first time such a ban has been implemented in Manipur, and it includes a prohibition on the use of airguns and firearms. The village, known for its state flower Shirui lily, wants to promote conservation and protect biodiversity in the area. The ban is timely as migratory birds, including the Amur falcon, have recently arrived in large numbers.
