During the past over 3 decades the authors have been engaged in the botanical studies in northeast India specially Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya. During the course of floristic exploration, several ethnobotanical observations were also made. Out of these, there are significant ones which have a bearing on conservation and sustainable use. Few of these have been supporting livelihoods and economic development for the rural community. These traditional practices are worth considering for replication and therefore this deserves a detailed study. The paper discusses the features of biodiversity and ethnobotanical studies from the region, highlighting the salient observations on certain important botanical resources and associated practices. The paper suggests further detailed investigation that can bring in a positive impact in resource management.
