Abstract	Brucea mollis Wall. ex Kurz. (Simaroubaceae), an endangered and economically important medicinal plant species distributed in north-eastern India. Its population is facing continuous decline over past decades due to various anthropogenic pressure including deforestation, forest fragmentation, shifting cultivation and agricultural expansion. Predicting the potential habitat may help in identifying suitable habitats for rehabilitation or reintroduction and will support in improving their population status. The present study was aimed to model the distribution of potential habitats of B. mollis in north-eastern region and to identify the significant factors affecting the distribution of potential habitats using Species Distribution Modelling (SDM). The potential habitat distribution map was generated using ArcMap by dividing the probability range into five classes, i.e., very high, high, moderate, low and very low. The result showed that only 1% (1058 km2) of the total geographical area of study area falls under high potential zone of habitation whereas 2% falls under high potential zone, 3% under moderate potential zone, 6% for low and 88% fall under very low potential for habitat suitability of B. mollis. The present study was emphasized with the specific objectives to study the distribution, population survey, identifying areas for conservation and reintroduction of B. mollis, thereby improving its population status.
