A survey on the freshwater fishes in the rivers flowing through the Aralam Wildlife Sanctuary has found that the floods in the previous years had a drastic impact on a few species of fish, which were found in abundance here earlier.
The two-day survey was conducted as part of the wildlife survey, organised jointly by the Aralam Wildlife Sanctuary and Malabar Nature History Society and carried out by students, environmentalists, and led by Jaffer Palot, scientist, Zoological Survey of India, and C.P. Shaji, fish biologist.

Creation of buffer zone around Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary
The Mananthavady block panchayat board has urged the Central government to withdraw the draft notification of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change that envisages a buffer zone around the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary.
According to the draft notification issued on January 28, the eco-sensitive zone will be to an extent of 0 to 3.4 km around the boundary of the sanctuary.
“The sanctuary has a total area of around 344.53 sq.km., of which 118.59 sq.km. is declared as buffer zone. The draft notification will make people’s life more miserable, as they are already reeling under the collapse of the agriculture sector,” the resolution passed by the board said.
