In this thesis, the topic of deforestation in Manipur's hilly regions and its effects on the local populace are examined. As a result of soil erosion, biodiversity loss, and effects on the livelihoods of those who depend on the forest for their nourishment, deforestation is a big problem in Manipur. The study focuses on the factors that contribute to deforestation, its repercussions, and the steps that can be taken to lessen its harmful effects. The study is founded on a literature assessment and fieldwork carried out in a few chosen villages in Manipur's hilly regions. According to the study's findings, shifting farming, logging, and mining are just a few examples of the human and natural elements that may be contributing to Manipur's deforestation. Deforestation has serious repercussions that have an impact on the area's economy, society, and ecology. To lessen the strain on the forest, the report suggests promoting alternative livelihoods, afforestation, and the adoption of sustainable forest management practices. The thesis concludes that Manipur's woods must be preserved for the benefit of its citizens and the protection of its natural resources.
