With a forest cover of 171964 sq km, the north-eastern part of India harbours a significant portion of the country's floral and faunal bounty - nearly 13,500 plant, 430 mammal and 1277 bird species, many of which are endemic to the region. An important part of the North-East is Nagaland wherein lies the Ghukhuyi village which is the centre of TERI's joint venture with the Department of Forests, Ecology, Environment and Wildlife of Nagaland to prepare a People's Biodiversity Register (PBR) for the area.
