Agriculture expansion has resulted in the loss and degradation of native forests, which adversely impact the livelihoods of the marginalized and forest dependent communities. It also results in the loss of ecology, ecosystem services and economy of the region. Widespread loss of natural habitats in the tropics has led to increased interest in production landscapes such as agroforestry for biodiversity conservation. Thus this review paper attempted to explain the beneficial impacts by opting coffee agroforestry for tribal welfare and forest conservation. Shade grown coffee helps in conserving biological diversity by providing several ecosystem services such as erosion control and water recharge, thereby preventing the degradation and loss of surrounding habitat. It also provides livelihood and also increases women empowerment among tribal people. Hence, Coffee plantations should be considered as a complement to other conservation efforts for biodiversity conservation, as well as for sustainable management of resources.
