Living root bridge, Conservation, Rejuvenation, Sustainable development, Environmental crisis.

It seems that Meghalaya is the only state in the country as well as in the world that living root bridges are found. Living root bridges are the outcomes of hardships and endurances of the ancestors, who engineered and designed these bridges out of thin air. And after a long wait of 15 to 20 years, they could reap the rewards of their hard work. However, the main point to ponder here is that the present generation never had a soul to think about the ancestors' treasures that they should not destroy because they are the monuments of their hard work . The paper at present gives the descriptions of a few selected bridges and the ideas of how conservation and preservation can be done, either traditionally or scientifically. Involvements of the stakeholders, private individuals, and everyone in the society or community are preferable and encouraging because they are the primary dependents of nature and also the first to face the risks arising from environmental crisis.
