Research about the biodiversity (flora and fauna) of Arunachal Pradesh/
Meghalaya. Make a comparative chart representing the adaptive features of
plants and animals of mountain regions and aquatic habitats.

Explanation:
Brahmaputra and Barak Valley plains. At the confluence of the Indian-Malayan,
Indo-Chinese and Indian biogeographical realms, the NE region is unique in
providing a profusion of habitats, which features diverse biota with a high level of
endemism. The region is also the abode of approximately 135 tribes in India, out
of 450 in the country, the culture and customs of which have an important role in
figuring out the key issues meant for biodiversity conservation.
The north eastern region has been under the focus for its high biodiversity and
region has been a priority for investment by the leading conservation agencies of
the world. The WWF has identified the Entire Eastern Himalaya as a priority
Global 200 Ecoregion; the Conservation International upscaled the Eastern
Himalaya ‘hotspot’ to Indo Burma Hotspot which now includes all the eight states
of North-East India. The region is an Endemic Bird area, important sub centre for
the origin of cultivated crops and harbors an IUCN centre for endemism. The
region’s lowland and montanne moist to wet tropical evergreen forests are
considered to be the northernmost limit of true tropical rainforests in the world
(Proctor et al 1998). North East India probably supports the highest bird diversity
in the Orient with about 836 of the 1200 bird species known from the Indian
subciontinent. The richness of the regions avifauna largely reflects the diversity
of habitats associated with a wide altitudinal range. The global distribution of 24
species are restricted tio the region and the Eastern Himalaya and Assam Plains
are recognized as Endemic Bird Areas (ICBP 1992)
It has been identified by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) as a
centre of rice germplasm while the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources
( NBPGR), India reports emphasized the region to be rich in Wild elatives of crop
plants. Even the Jhum, the primal agricultural economy practiced by local tribes
reflects the usage of 35 crops of different varieties. The discovery of the Tawang
Macaque, the Leaf Deer, the Chinese Goral and recently the Scimitar babbler as
recent as October 2005 (The Auk, Journal of the America
