UNESCO removed the in-danger tag from the Manas National Park, a World Heritage Site in Assam. The tag suffixed to the national park was removed at the 35th session of Unesco’s World Heritage Committee in Paris that started on 20 June 2011.
The in-danger tag was attached to Manas National Park in 1992 it was ravaged due to insurgency and political unrest. The tag was removed after all the countries of the 22-member committee unanimously voted in favour of Manas. The removal of the tag was a huge achievement and recognised the hard work put in by the government and the people, to restore the lost glory of Manas.
Manas National Park is a biodiversity hotspot in Northeast India. Manas has a number of additional epithets, including a national park, a tiger reserve, an elephant reserve and a biosphere reserve.
It was declared a World Heritage Site in 1985.
