The population of the medicinal plant, Habenaria longicorniculata J.Graham is shrinking due to habitat degradation and its over-exploitation Predicting potential geographic distribution of the species is important for conservation of a species and restoration of its habitat. The present study was carried out to predict the current and future suitable distribution of H. longicorniculata in India using Maxent species distribution model; 20,928 km2 of the total predicted area was found to be most suitable. Precipitation of the wettest month (Bio 13), precipitation of driest month (Bio 14) and isothermality (Bio 3) were the strongest predictors for the distribution of H. longicorniculata with 68% and 6.9% respectively. The model results suggest significant probable decrease of highly suitable habitat of 17% area, in future Therefore, proper conservation planning is needed for H. longicorniculata. The Maxent model used in this study can be used to forecast the distribution of the species and may be helpful for its rehabilitation and improving conservation status.
