This rapid survey was the first ever attempt to find out the status and distribution of hispid hare in north-east India within the North Bank Landscape which covered nine protected areas within Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. The survey finds out evidence of hispid hare's presence in three of the protected areas i.e., Barnadi Wildlife Sanctuary, Nameri Tiger Reserve and D'Ering Wildlife Sanctuary. A preliminary assessment of grassland habitats within the study sites was conducted using GIS and RS technology. The survey further identifies the potential threats to tall grassland habitats available in all the protected areas including the sites where evidence of hispid hare reported.Keywords

A study conducted for the first time in the fringe villages around Manas National Park during 2008- 2009 to see how people appreciate different conservation values of Asian elephant. It includes group discussions and household survey to collect data following proportional allocation method and found that local community well appreciate different use and non-use values related of elephant conservation. They express high concern over environmental degradation and wildlife protection and revealed preference pattern, there should be a concerted approach to sustainable management of elephants and their habitats in the region. Hence, a micro level study to estimate willingness to pay of the community people for conserving elephants could be suggested.Keywords
