Issues and Strategies Related to the Management of Nokrek Biosphere Reserve in Meghalaya, India

摘要

Nokrek is one of the important biosphere reserves of India, which was earlier designated as Citrus Gene Sanctuary. Despite its designation as biosphere reserve, there has been no scientific study of the area. This paper attempts to document the flora and fauna of this unique ecosystem rich in genetic resources. This will be helpful for framing conservation strategies. Emphasising the importance of this reserve, recommendations are made for further scientific studies and social development within the reserve.
