INTRODUCTION
Arunachal Pradesh is land of peanuts in the foothills of the
Himalayas  in NorthEast India. It is spread over an area of
83,743 square km. 98% of the geographical area is land out of
which 80% is forest cover; 2% is water.River systems in the
region, including those from the higher Himalayas and Patkoi
and Arakan ranges , eventually drain into the Brahamputra
Basin. 
FORESTS OF ARUNACHAL
PRADESH
Vast climatic variations of Arunachal Pradesh
have resulted in the existence of almost all
types of timber wealth ranging from the
tropical teak like species of the foothills
jungles, to the conifers of the high mountains.
Arunachal Pradesh is famous for rare species
of orchids, which are found in all types of
forests, altitudinal ranges, and rainfall
conditions.
Forest Types: Arunachal is the land of green gold. Due to the variation in altitudes and
climatic conditions, different places of Arunachal Pradesh have different types of
forests.
Tropical:
1.Northern Tropical Semi-evergreen Forests.
2.Northern Tropical Evergreen Forests.
3.Northern Tropical Moist Deciduous Forests.
4.Secondary Bamboo Breaks

Sub-tropical:
1.East Himalayan Sub-tropical broad leafed Forests.
2.Sub-tropical Pint Forests.

Temperate Forests:
1.Temperate broad leafed Forests.
2.Temperate Conifer Forests.
3.Sub-alpine Woody shrub.
4.Alpine Meadow
 WILDLIFE OF ARUNACHAL PRADESH
In Arunachal’s rich and colourful flora and fauna orchids find a
place of pride. Out of about a thousand species of orchids in India,
over 500 are to be found in Arunachal Pradesh alone. The wildlife
of Arunachal is equally rich and varied. Elephants and tigers
abound, especially in the grassy foothills and the leopard and
jungle cat are quite common. The white browed gibbon is found in
Tirap and Lohit districts and red pandas and musk deer in the
higher ranges.
Almost all the Protected Areas are in ragged terrain and inaccessible, which has
added more protection to all these Protected areas. The protected areas like
Pakke Wildlife Sanctuary, Namdapha National Park, Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary
and Itanagar Wildlife Sanctuary have fringe human population where activities
have been initiated by involving the local communities in conservation of
wildlife and its habitat. To have a species-specific conservation program the
state has taken up activities under Project Tiger and Project Elephant with the
central assistance from Government of India. There are two tiger project areas
namely Namdapha Tiger Reserve and Pakke Tiger Reserve. Tiger being at the
apex of the biological pyramid, the management of Tiger provides scope to the
conservation and management of Tiger ecology in a holistic manner. The state
has also submitted proposals to Government of India to include all the Elephant
habitat areas into four Elephant Reserves that are under active consideration of
the GOI. One of the Elephant Reserves has been notified as Kameng Elephant
Reserve, covering the district of Papum-pare, East Kameng and West Kameng.
