Tripura is a landlocked small hilly state of north-eastern India and part of richest reservoir of biodiversity. Aggressive civilization, rapid growth of industrialization and pollution results loss of different species from the earth causes danger to biodiversity. Different tribes of Tripura still lives on and near forest and depend on local flora and fauna for the food, shelter, medication and ritual ceremonies. Environmental hazards and destruction of forest resulted permanent loss of different flora and fauna for the earth. This also causes great changes in the lives of tribal people of the state.
