GUIDELINES FOR GRANT OF PERMISSION FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN PROTECTED AND OTHER FOREST AREAS IN THE STATE OF MIZORAM
Scientific Research in basic ecology, conservation biology and the social sciences (in so far as they seek to understand the socio-economic dynamics of the impact of people and forests on each other) is vital for better understanding of the current status of various species and their habitats, the structure and functions of ecosystems, the ecology of species, and their interaction with human society. Knowledge generated from scientific research is essential for wildlife and forest managers to identify the appropriate conservation and field management strategies. Such knowledge is also necessary for identifying sustainable and eco-friendly livelihood options for people living in and around forests which can reduce human footprint in wildlife habitats.
The case for such scientific knowledge is particularly strong in Mizoram as it is one of the most biological diverse states of India and a globally important biodiversity hotspot. Yet there is ^yery little information available on the state’s rich wildlife heritage. Even complete species inventories are not available for most areas of the state let alone more detailed studies of ecological conservation requirements of individual species.
As per guidelines of the National Wildlife Action Plan (2017-2031), research projects to identify/measure biological diversity, monitor the status of indicator/flagship/threatened species of /flora and fauna, study their breeding biology, and the socio-economic aspects of conservation should be given priority even within Protected Areas. Such research is needed for identifying high diversity value areas, for developing ecosystem and landscape-level management strategies, and to overcome specific management problems in Protected Areas.

On submission of Deed for change of name by Pu Rorelliana, Peon, Khawbung RD Block, it is hereby notified that the name of the official should henceforth be read as Rorelliana instead of Rorelliana Chawngthu as per O.M issued by DP & AR (GSW) vide No.A.47012/1/2016-DP&AR (GSW) Dated 17.01.2017.
