Forest management in Mizoram enters new chapter when the traditional institution of chieftainship was abolished through the Lushai Hills Acts, 1954 (Acquisition of Chief Right) which was followed by creation of The Mizoram Forest Act 1955. This transition in administrative system in forest management gradually brought along with it a new section of individuals with an objective to protect and preserve environment and forest in the region. Such organizations work in line with the state forest department on issue base; although they sometimes oppose the government programs and projects if need arise. There are several Environmental NGO’s and agencies in the state. This paper will study the administrative structure of forest in Mizoram and the role and functions of NGO’s in the present day forest management.
