Who We are

Welcome to SVEEP KAMRUP 2024

INTRODUCTION :

Introducing our mascots “LUIT” (Male) & “KAMRUPA” (Female), who belong to the family of the turtle “BLACK SOFTSHELL TURTLE”.
The black softshell turtle or Bostami turtle (Nilssonia nigricans), previously placed in genus Aspideretes, is a species of freshwater turtle found in India (Assam and Tripura) and Bangladesh (Chittagong and Sylhet). Previously declared extinct in wild by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 2002, these turtles were found to still exist in a temple's pond called the Hayagriva Madhava Temple located in Kamrup, Assam and some were recently sighted along banks of Brahmaputra and in Bangladesh. It is currently categorized as ‘critically endangered’ by IUCN. Through conservation methods and protection of the species, some of these turtles can be found today throughout the wild, and scientists and environmental biologists are continuing to work hard to preserve this critically endangered species and their natural habitat.
