The Amazon of the East

Dihing, adjoining borderline with Arunachal, on the foothills of mighty Patkai, In the encircling mesas of terrestrial plains of high altitudes, lies the Assam Valley's tropical wet evergreen forests, Named after its thick density of trees and profuse diverse ecology, the Amazon of the East, the Dehing- Patkai Wildlife Sanctuary. An abode to the myriad of endangered species, copious floras and faunas, a hotspot, the zone of world's richest biodiversity. As amazing as Amazon's tropical forests, dark and dense: The country's lungs like last lowland the evergreen rainforest. Where the tallest of the tall trees with creepers are competing for the sunlight forming greenish lavish canopies. There, the animal kingdom awakens, whoops; When the light falls, fathoming the density, filters in The floras with the exotic species: orchids, lianas, epiphytes, are sparse and unique, The faunas endless, the sole quirky reserve in the country with its' lush evergreen ecological system. Nestled amidst the most picturesque valleys and hills, Is reclining the lungs of the congenial climate for survival, of the region A celestial abode on earth of the rarest IUCN red listed, on the verge of extinct species, TheDehing Patkai, the richest part of the Sub-Himalayan region, a major carbon sink ecosystem. . The Amazon of the East, with its sacred biodiversity hotspot, is apprehensive of it's extinction As the relentless injudicious mining and digging, Has taken away the pulses of the oxygen feeding lush terrain, Imagine a world devoid of rainforests, where we need to carry oxygen tanks, the most unfortunate substitution! It's sending signals after signals not to play with its' immensely diverse tropical bio- canopy region; To save the last remaining unparalleled foliage, affluent lowland from excision! As no amount of wealth will be enough to save us from the impending outcomes of destruction, Pivotal to rescue and redeem the Amazon of the East; the tropical evergreen Dehing -Patkai reserve, the richest rainforest of the region!

Best part for me and so serious: the relentless injudicious mining and digging, Has taken away the pulses of the oxygen feeding lush terrain, /Imagine a world devoid of rainforests, where we need to carry oxygen tanks, the most unfortunate substitution!//Tell me about yourself. You write very intelligently!
