Kashmir stag The Kashmir stag, also called hangul, is a subspecies of Central
Asian red deer endemic to Kashmir, India. It is found in dense
riverine forests in the high valleys and mountains of the Kashmir
Valley and northern Chamba district in Himachal Pradesh.
Snow leopard
The snow leopard, also known as the ounce, is a felid in the genus
Panthera native to the mountain ranges of Central and South Asia. It
is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List because the global
population is estimated to number fewer than 10,000 mature
individuals and is expected to decline about 10% by 2040.
Western tragopan
The rare Western tragopan, a medium sized and brightly colored
pheasant, has been sighted at two sites in the Pir Panjal range. The birds
were sighted by a team from the species division of the Wildlife Trust of
India (WTI). Its status is a Schedule I species on the Wildlife Protection
Act and ‘Vulnerable’ on the IUCN Red List. The Tragopan is a victim of
rampant poaching for its meat and plumage. The team also sighted
another rare species, the Cheer Pheasant.
Their appealing physical features and large size made the black-
Black necked necked crane and the Hangul perfect representations of the
region’s rich wildlife. Black-necked cranes are giant birds with
crane whitish bodies, long slender black legs and long black necks with
a red crown adorning their heads. They live on high altitudes in
the Tibetan plateau, Ladakh and Bhutan, and are the only species
of the crane family in such habitats. It is the undisputed king of
birds in the Ladakh and Kashmir Himalayas and was, therefore, a
natural choice for the state bird.

National parks in Tamil Nadu
Chinar tree CHINAR:Called Booune in the Kashmiri language, the Chinar tree is an integral part of
Kashmiri culture. Almost every village in the valley has a Chinar tree. You can
experience a cool breeze under the shadow of this majestic tree which is very
conducive to health.It is unfortunate that in recent years the number of Chinar trees is
decreasing. It is no wonder that if the present trend continues, the day is not far-off
when the tree will see its extinction from the land of Kashmir. However, it is heartening to
note the government is making its honest best to stop the illegal felling of this great tree
of Kashmir.Chinar is a gigantic sized tree, found growing throughout valley. Its scientific
name is platanus orientalis. Its family is plataneae. A deciduous tree, Chinar traces its
origin to Greece. Its incredible beauty has to be seen to be believed. The tree is at its
most elegance and exuberance during autumn. Though its majesty can be seen all
through the year. Iqbal, the poet of the East, traces the warmth of the Kashmir soil to
the “blaze of Chinars it nurses in its bosom”.Chinar grows up to a height of 25 meters and
a girth exceeding 50 feet in certain cases. This tree with the largest circumference of 60
feet is located at a village named Chattergam in central Kashmir.These days conscious
efforts are being made to undertake plantation of this tree to other states. The tree has
been successfully planted in New Delhi, Chandigarh, Dehradun and Meerut. But the size
and girth attained in these places are no parallel to those of the tree in Kashmir valley.
Walnut:The walnut belongs to the small order of trees and shrubs known as
Juglandeae. Walnut trees are very large, ranging from 50 to 75 feet in
Walnut tree height and width. Kashmir revels in reputation in that it is the only region in
India where the walnut tree grows. The natural sheen, color and grains are
indeed exceptional and unique. The carving and fret- work done on this
wood is of a delight.Generally two types of walnut trees are found in
Jammu and Kashmir- one that bears fruit and is noted for its wood, and
another which is not fruit-bearing. The latter is known as ‘zangul’ in local
parlance and is less strong and possesses no grains.The walnut wood is
almost black, and the grain here is much more pronounced than the
wood of the trunk which is lighter in color.Black in color, the walnut wood
is used for making furniture and carvings. The branches have the lightest
color, being almost blonde, and have no noticeable grain. The inherent
worth of the wood from each part of the tree differs. The root part is the
most expensive and the branches having the lowest price.[divider

Saffron plant Jammu and kashmir plant 1:Saffron:There are only two or three places in the
whole world where saffron grows. Kashmir has the proud priv ilege of being
one of these places. There are two locations in Kashmir where saffron grows.
One of these two places is Pampur. Pampur is a small town, which is 13 km
from Srinagar. The saffron plant is v ery small and its flower is the only part
which is seen abov e the ground. The blooming time of this flower is autumn.
Saffron has a unique sweet smell and is used in dyeing and cooking.The
botanical name of Saffron is Crocus sativ us. The purple colored flowers
appear just abov e the ground and are a beautiful sight. The orange stigmas
of the saffron plant are harvested as saffron and used as a flav oring and
coloring agent in v arious recipes. Saffron is added to Kahwa – the traditional
Saffron Tea drunk by people in Kashmir.The orange-red stigmas of the saffron
plant produce a pleasant aroma and a warm golden orange color. The
yellow stamens are also harvested, however they do not have the same
aromatic and color properties of the stigmas. Pure saffron consists of only the
orange-red stigmas of the saffron plant. Saffron is also believ ed to have many
medicinal properties. Called Kesar in the rest of India, saffron is used as a
flav oring agent in many food preparations, from rice dishes, such as biryani,
to v arious sweets.
