The survival of mankind depends upon the availability of bioresources and their proper management. War Khasi tribe of Meghalaya nurtured bioresources in the vicinity of their habitations, near water sources, on steep slopes and other ecologically sensitive lands. Traditional knowledge based management practices can be seen in forest management in the form of sacred groves, village restricted forests, village supply forests, clan forests, traditional fish harvesting, traditional bird harvesting, water conservation and traditional herbal treatment. In this paper, we investigate and document, traditional knowledge associated with management and utilization of various bioresources by War Khasi tribe of south Meghalaya.
