The release of the buffalo calf back into the wild not only signifies a triumph in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation but also reaffirms Assam’s status as a custodian of its natural heritage. It serves as a testament to the state’s resolve to conserve its diverse flora and fauna for future generations to cherish.
