<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">In 2018, five scientists retraced the route of the Abor Expedition — a punitive expedition in the North-Eastern Frontier Agency (which corresponds to parts of present-day Assam and Arunachal Pradesh) in order to explore the deeper forests.</span></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The snake was found while researchers were surveying the Poba Reserve Forest (RF) located at the interstate boundary of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. The snake was collected from the Arunachal part of <strong>Poba</strong>.</span></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The snake’s ‘lost’ status has a lot to do with the habitat it occupies — in this case, a lowland evergreen forest. These forests have been selectively degraded during the last 100 years.</span></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Tea plantations have been made, selective logging has taken place, and many other activities such as oil exploration and coal mining has resulted in their destruction.</span></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">When the British had discovered the snake, they had classified it as belonging to the larger keelback species. But through DNA studies, it was found that this particular keelback does not belong to the generalised <strong>keelback</strong> snake of India </span></span></p>

<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">It has rather a unique genus (<em>Herpetoreas</em>) belonging to a smaller group of four species, found in Eastern and Western Himalayas, South China and Northeast India.</span></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The Poba RF, where the snake was found, is one of the last remaining patches of low elevation tropical wet forest in the upper Brahmaputra valley. But it has the lowest available protection status.</span></span></p>
