Silchar, Aug 5: The endangered Goral – a rare and beautiful goat-antelope species found only in the Cachar area - is expecting some survival support from the Barak Forest Reserve.

The Barak Forest Reserve is a treasure house of precious plants with great medicinal properties, orchids, and rare flora and fauna. It spans an area of 20,527 hectares and is being upgraded to a biosphere reserve. This will ensure protection of the remaining eight Gorals in the country.

The Goral is a magnificent creature – long haired goat-antelope with horns that curves backwards. They are extremely nimble and can move at high speed among rough terrains. It is found in the Himalayan lower reaches of Cachar and Nepal, and also in some parts of China and Korea.
