The Finn's Weaver is a prime example of a species that is poorly known and hence relatively neglected. Rediscovered in 1959, and restricted to India and Nepal,(grassy floodplain) country with marshes and tall, wet grasslands sparsely dotted with isolated trees.

Great Indian Bustard, Macqueen's Bustard, suffered continuous population declines because of historical hunting and widespread habitat loss, compounded with their slow growth and reproduction. These are classified as Critically Endangered as urgent conservation action.

This laughingthrush endemic to the Indo-Myanmar lowland forests is only known within India from the Dehing Patkai forests in eastern Assam. Conservation of these last remaining lowland rainforests in North-east India is key to the survival of this species.

Severely threatened because of trapping for the pet trade in the past, this central Indian endemic is now regularly seen only in parts of the Aravallis and the northern Eastern Ghats. Other populations need to be urgently identified through surveys, and protected.

One of many range-restricted Wren Babblers found in North-east India, this cryptic species is endemic to the Naga hills and adjoining Manipur. Only known from a few locations, the species may be threatened in most of its small range due to habitat loss.

Restricted to grasslands in the Brahmaputra river floodplains, little is known about this nondescript babbler that looks rather like a prinia. Stretches of river and associated grasslands preferred by this species are fast disappearing across its range.

Almost the entire population of this subcontinental endemic now subsists in stands of non-native Lantana in the foothills of the Uttarakhand Himalaya. Considering its recent adaptation to a new habitat type, understanding more about its ecology is vital.

This endemic is found only in the heavily disturbed forests adjoining Bangladesh in Tripura, southern Assam, western Mizoram and Manipur, and southern Meghalaya. Possibly distributed throughout Tripura in the past, its status within the State is now unclear.
