    The Northeast (NE) Indian region is one of the hotspot of Indo Malayan biodiversity that remains largely unexplored. For this study, two wetlands in the NE Indian region of Manipur, viz Keibul Lamjao National Park (KLNP) and Pumlen pat (PP) were selected as the study site. Diversity and abundance of bird species in the region were assessed because of their prominence in the landscape. Conservation measures are needed for both the sites In tenns of these threatened bird species. Site-specific management strategies need to be incorporated in the management plan for the management of the isolated local populations of Black-breasted Parrotbill and Yellow-breasted Bunting in the undisturbed site (KLNP). Whereas some legal conservation measure is needed for conserving threatened grassland birds in the disturbed site (PP). It is also mandatory to monitor the population of Yellow-breasted Bunting population discovered from both the sites.
