Abstract
Bihar, a state known for its history and rich cultural heritage, is also a refuge of clearly defined species that are unique to the world and are found no place else. The present study involving the history of these species by using genetic analysis, fossil evidence, and ecological studies, investigates the situation. Through initial and secondary explanation, we can realistically infer some of them locked in so closely with their environments and others that showcasing complex transitions. The prestigious report, on the one hand, discusses the relevance of preservation measures, sustainable land-use practices, and, on the other hand, the durability of local-based natural conservation. The threat of habitat destruction and climate change poses a great danger to the biodiversity of Bihar, therefore, going through them is an extreme necessity. The study emphasizes the significance of consistent conservation measures and outlines a comprehensive strategy for safeguarding Bihar’s vulnerable species for the future.
Keywords: Habitat, species, conservation, endemic species, biodiversity, sustainable land-use practice
