Nzanmongi, who is the second child of sub-treasury officer Zanao Lotha and Mhonbeni of Tsungiki village under Wokha district, was also presented a certificate of participation by ICSSR 2016 programme moderator, Nurul Sahida Fauzi. Talking to Nagaland Post, Nzanmongi informed that her research paper, “investigates the possibilities of offering tourists insight into the impact of human beings on environment and in fostering a greater appreciation of our natural habitats. It also explores the different responsible eco-tourism programmes and ways to minimize the negative aspects of conventional tourism on the environment and seeks to develop a sustainable model that will promote energy-efficient economic opportunities and enhance bio-cultural diversity.” Nzanmongi further opined that “some of the furthest corners of Nagaland, especially along the borders, are unfazed by the modern developmental activities, and thus, could provide a perfect destination for tourists looking to experience the rich cultural heritage of the Nagas while exploring nature in its peaceful habitat based on mutual co-existence.”
