Muchat Village, Zemithang Circle, Tawang District, Arunachal Pradesh, India
Gaon Bura: Mr. Pema Hirder
Zemithang Circle comprises of five census villages. These are Shockthen village in Khinzemane (up hill bordering Bhutan, China); Kharman village; Kyaleteng village; Muchat village and Lumpo village. The villagers of Muchat do claim to have sizeable numbers of Red Panda, Barking Deer, Wild Boar, Himalayan Langur, Snow Leopard, Black Deer, Snakes, Black Necked Crane, Blood Pigeon, Kite and Mountain Goats. So far, there is no census available on the wildlife. The unavailability of the census is one of a major reason for failure to push the barrage site of Nyamjangchhu Hydroelectric Project from Zemithang village to Khinzemane (towards China Border).
Pangchen Lumpo Muchat Community Conservation Management Area
For conserving the forest and wildlife in the Tawang and West Kameng, WWF-India and Sir Dorabji Tata Trust were successful in motivating the village councils (panchayats) to embrace conservation activities by institutionalising Community Conserved Areas (CCA).
The Muchat village has three home stay and one home based restaurant operators. There are 57 households in Muchat. The three home-stay operators are Mr. Pandan; Mr. Tashi Phunsuk and Mr. Kesang. Muchat has three Gompa. These are Zangdho Phelri Gompa, Kingzi Gompa and Samtan Tseling Gompa. Like Lumpo village, Muchat has PHED water supply, electricity, mobile network and a BRO road which goes from Zemithang to Khitzemani border areas via Muchat and Lumpo. The CCA committees have identified community-based tourism (CBT) model to promote tourism which is aligned to their primary goal of conservation. WWF has provided with good quality dinner sets, casseroles, heat insulated flasks, mattresses, blankets, pillows and solar geysers. The homestay operators upgraded their toilets and bathroom as well as sanitation conditions of the area. WWF is also providing market linkages for tourist inflow also.
