The dataset includes finds of birds (Aves), mammals (Mammalia), insects (Insecta), amphibians (Amphibia) and reptiles (Reptilia) in some northern and northeastern regions of India, mainly in Assam state. The most important thing about this dataset is that it contains inforation on biodiversity from areas that were not previously studied and are hard to be reached.
