The First Chengyu (Great Barbet) Festival was held in January 2019 organized by the Tzu Valley Biodiversity Conservation and Livelihood Network (TVBCLN) in Kivikhu, Sukhai, and Ghukhuyi Villages under Satakha circle of Zunheboto. The name of the festival draws its significance from the fact that the great barbet has since time immemorial has a strong cultural attachment to the community in the area. The main concept of this festival is to create a mass awareness campaign on the importance of biodiversity and its conservation.
Faunal surveys in the three villages of Zunheboto district by the TERI team in association with Titli Trust and many volunteers have led to a checklist of 222 species of birds, 200 species of butterflies, and more than 200 species of moths so far. This area has become a popular tourist hotspot for bird and butterfly watching activities.
