Statement 1 is correct: the annual Amur Falcon congregation at Doyang/Pangti is widely cited as a success of community-led conservation in Nagaland. Statement 2 is not correct because satellite tags help scientists track and study migration; they do not guide the birds to stopover sites. Statement 3 is also not correct because Amur Falcons remain migratory visitors using Nagaland as a stopover/roosting site, not permanent residents.
