NATIONAL PARK OF MANIPUR
KEIBUL LAMJAO
NATIONAL PARK

Area: 40 km2 (15 sq mi)


Established: 28 March 1977
Location: Bishnupur Districr,
Manipur India.
History The brow-antlered deer, which was first discovered
in Manipur in 1839 and named Cervus eldi in 1844
in honour of Lt. Percy Eld – a British officer, was
reported an extinct species in 1951. It was re–
discovered in the Keibul Lamjao Park area by the
environmentalist and photographer E.P. Gee, which
necessitated declaring this reserve park area as a
national park to protect and conserve the deer now
called Eld's deer's subspecies brow-antlered deer
(Cervus eldi eldi) or Sangai in Meitei language (to
distinguish it from the other two subspecies found
in Burma and Thailand that are called Cervus eldii
thamin and Cervus eldii siamensis and also in
Cambodia, China, Laos,
Thailand, Vietnam and Hainan Island). It has a
pride of place in the folklore and culture of the
Manipur state and is the state animal of Manipur.
 The park, primarily composed of moist semi–evergreen forests, has a
rich amalgam of aquatic, wetland and terrestrial ecosystem. The grass
land structure of the park is divided into three zones.
Flora
• Aquatic flora recorded in the park include
Zizania latifolia (wild rice, ishing kambong),
Tripidium bengalense, Eiranthus procerus,
Dioscorea bulbifera, Cynodon dactylon, Alpinia
galanga, Eichhornia crassipes, Hedychium
coronarium, Nelumbo nucifera and Phragmites
karka .
• Some of the above-listed flora had been recorded in
two types of phumdis namely, the phumdi
ataoba (floating) and the phumdi aruppa (sinking).
• In a 1960 estimate, the phumdi vegetation had been
structured into 45% Phragmites karka, 25% Erianthus
ravennae (elephant grass), 15% Saccharum munja, 5% .
latifolium, 5% Alpinia allughas and 2% Saccharum
procerum and 3% other species, including Zizania
