RESEARCH
AND PUBLICATIONS ON MANAS NATIONAL PARK
Very little research
work has been undertaken in Manas, possibly due to Bodo
agitation since 1989. Most of the research works conducted so
far was done as a part of University and Research Programme. The
site does not have any specific financial provision for
initiating Research Programme. There is a post of Research
Officer in the Reserve. However, in the absence of financial
support, the research priorities have taken a backseat.
Following are various research related publications:
