The suitable habitat of the threatened sangai or brow-antlered deer ( Rucervus eldii eldii) found only in Manipur’s Keibul Lamjao National Park is likely to narrow down and become limited by 2,050-2,070 due to climate change, according to new research. The study published in the journal Environmental Monitoring and Assessment has revealed that the suitable distribution areas for the sangai deer will be narrower and will be restricted to the central core zone of the protected area. Unlike other national parks in India, Keibul Lamjao National Park is a 40 sq km patch comprising mainly of floating biomass (locally called phumdi) and water body, in the southern rim of the saucer-shaped Loktak Lake, a Ramsar wetland of international importance and the largest freshwater lake in northeast India. As per the 2016 census, the park is home to 260 sangai.
