Apapang, an adult male Amur falcon (Falco amurensis) tagged in Tamenglong district, Manipur, India, has completed an impressive 4,700-km non-stop flight from Somalia to central India in just 95 hours. This flight, which crossed the Arabian Sea without a break, ended near the Sone river, about 120 km south of Varanasi. Dr. Suresh Kumar from the Wildlife Institute of India has been tracking Apapang's migratory route, alongside former divisional forest officer Kh Hitler. The falcon began its journey after being tagged with a satellite transmitter on November 11, 2025, along with two other falcons, Ahu and Alang, who remain in Somalia. This migration is part of a conservation initiative launched in November 2018 to protect the species, which is known locally as Akhuaipuina. Amur falcons breed in southeast Russia and northeast China, migrating to southern Africa and returning through Afghanistan and East Asia, undertaking an annual journey of nearly 20,000 km.
