Popis: Manipur is one of the eight states of North-East India placed inside square area 23°83’–25°68’N and 93°03’–94°78’E. The natural vegetation of the state falls under the Indo-Myanmar Biodiversity Hotspot area with rich flora and fauna.

Various threats for the depletion of orchid species in the natural habitats of Manipur have been discussed and necessary conservation measures for their conservation are suggested.
