Wokha is set amidst lush green hills, rich biodiversity, and vital river systems, making environmental conservation a crucial local focus.
* **Air and Water Quality:** Air quality is generally excellent due to the lack of heavy industry and the abundance of forests. Water quality is good at the source, though boiling or filtering drinking water is recommended for visitors. * **Doyang River and Reservoir:** The Doyang River is the largest in the district. Its reservoir, formed by the Doyang Dam, is a vital ecological and economic resource. * **The Amur Falcon Conservation Success:** The area around Doyang Reservoir (specifically Pangti village) is world-renowned as the "Falcon Capital of the World." Every autumn, millions of Amur Falcons roost here during their migration from Siberia to Africa. Once hunted, massive community-led conservation efforts have transformed the region into a safe haven for these raptors. * **Mount Tiyi:** A prominent peak rich in local folklore, Mount Tiyi features diverse flora and fauna, including vibrant rhododendrons. * **Sustainability:** Deforestation for shifting cultivation (jhum) remains an environmental challenge, but there is a growing movement toward sustainable farming, eco-tourism, and forest conservation.
