“…Sal Forest (Eastern Bhabar and Terai Sal. Sal (Shorea robusta) is the keystone species and maintains the skeleton of the vegetation (Sarkar and Das, 2017). Buxa area is very similar in biodiversity to the Manas area and is actually close to the Manas National Park.…”

The Duars region of the northern part of West Bengal is picturesque with dense forests, hills, tea gardens, plantations and many rivers and streams. The Buxa Tiger Reserve (BTR), one of the many protected areas in the region, is one of the most biodiverse regions of the country. It boasts of many endemic plants and animals. It is the home for the endangered Indian Tiger. Besides this, the BTR is the source of income and livelihood of many local and ethnic populations residing in an around the reserve. The cultural and historical heritage of the BTR is also noteworthy. Therefore, the reserve is congenial for tourism and many ecodevelopment activities have been planned and executed in the area. However, natural disasters, increasing human population, indiscriminate use of natural resources human wildlife conflict and growing pressure from anthropogenic activities has led to a loss of biodiversity, The reserve faces many management issues and challenges. The current study aims to do a thorough sectional analysis of the problems of biodiversity conservation and management in the BTR and suggest mitigation measures for the same.

The present study was carried out to investigate tree species diversity, population dynamics, and tree species regeneration patterns at Rajabhatkhawa Range of Buxa Tiger Reserve of West Bengal to better understand the regeneration dynamics and population structure of tree species. A total of 140 quadrats (size 2m × 2 m) were set with the sampling intensity 0.1% for regeneration survey of the area by following random quadrat sampling method. This study documented about ”106" regenerating tree species, representing “74” genera and “40” families from the study area from which about “47” percent of tree species showed “good” regeneration status. Monoon simiarum had highest seedlings density with 8125.00 seedlings ha-1 followed by Aglaia spectabilis (4642.86 seedlings ha-1). Monoon simiarum showed highest IVI index of 15.19, followed by Aglaia spectabilis (10.41). About 9 percent of the species had “fair” regeneration status and 8 percent had “poor” regeneration status, the fair or poor regeneration might be due to insufficient seed dispersal that limits native species colonisation. However, it was observed that a total of 18 percent of tree species were classified as “not regenerating” and again 18 percent of tree species that were present in either sapling or seedling stage but no adult stage were categorized as new regeneration.
