Foreword
The exploration, conservation and sustainable utilisation of bio-resources of the world’s mega-biodiversity hotspots are undeniable. Northeastern India is a recognised biodiversity hotspot where the evolutionary forces are at its optimum, making this region a centre of origin for many species. Although, a few exploratory studies have been conducted in this part of the globe, but work on sustainable scientific exploitation of bio-resources is almost lacking. Unscientific exploitation and overexploitation without proper knowledge of the bio-resource may lead to an imbalanced ecosystem of the mega-diverse region. At the same time, very less exploration and exploitation will hamper biodiversity-based development. Today, unscientific dramatic changes are underway in this mega-biodiversity hotspot. Human activities are changing, degrading and destroying the bio-resources. This book highlights the less and merely explored part of the indigenous biodiversity of NE India with explanation towards thei
