Authors
Deepika Patel, Satish Mohabe
Abstract
Madhya Pradesh, located in central India, is renowned for its rich
biodiversity, including a diverse range of orchid species. This review article
explores the variety of orchids found in the state, highlighting notable
species such as Dendrobium macraei, Vanda tessellata, Aerides
crispa, and Bulbophyllum leopardinum. These orchids, which thrive in
the region's diverse climatic conditions, play a crucial role in their
ecosystems by supporting pollinator interactions and contributing to nutrient cycling.
Despite their ecological importance, orchids in Madhya Pradesh face significant
threats from habitat destruction, over-collection, and climate change.
Conservation efforts, including the establishment of protected areas, ex-situ
conservation initiatives, and community involvement, are essential to safeguard
these species. This review underscores the need for sustainable practices and
enhanced conservation strategies to ensure the survival of orchids in Madhya
Pradesh, preserving their ecological and aesthetic value for future
generations.
