Inside the world's only floating national park<br>Loktak Lake in Manipur, India, is a living mosaic of floating islands called phumdis, home to Keibul Lamjao National Park, the only floating national park on Earth. This fragile ecosystem shelters the endangered Sangai deer, known as the 'dancing deer', and sustains communities living on floating huts. However, the ecosystem is under threat due to climate change and other factors at play.
