Butterfly diversity was documented first time in and around Pakke Tiger Reserve, Arunachal Pradesh, during autumn. 65 species with in 43 genera representing 14 sub families within 5 families were recorded during the present study. Jaccard's similarity index showed greater dissimilarity of butterfly fauna between forest edge and forest habitats and also within families at two sites. This may be due to the difference in vegetation composition and disturbances at two sites. Out of the 65 recorded butterflies 12 species enjoys a legal protection by Indian Wildlife Protection Act and CITES.Keywords

The history of the Western Ghats goes back to the event of breaking‐up of the super continent of Gondwana, during the continental drift, some 150 million years ago. The origin is a debatable subject among geologists with several views and theories based on different kinds of evidences. Fault escarpment theory suggest that mountains of the Western Ghats are results of a gigantic fault due to an upward distorting of a large rigid shield of the Indian peninsula during the volcanic period. Erosional escarpment hypothesis advocates the origin of the Western Ghats due to coastal planation whereas Oldham proposed that the Western Ghats as a dead cliff. Biogeographically, the Western Ghats represents 4% of India's land region with high torrential rainfall which experiences monsoon and tropical climate with high variation in wind speed makes it one of the ten bio‐geographic zones in India. With nearly 40% of the total number of species being endemic, the Western Ghats is considered to be one among the hotspots in the world but facing severe threats. Bio prospecting may help to ensure the participation of indigenous ethnic people in biodiversity protection and sustainable resource utilization. A National policy has to be designed in such a way that local ethnic communities get benefits from the utilization of natural resources by marketing natural resources.Keywords
