Though deforestation and poaching was a major threat for nature and wildlife in Nagaland; however Khonoma may be considered one of the safest place for wild birds and mammals. Community conservation played a major role in protecting the biodiversity of the area.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Khonoma Village – Kalpavriksh|url=https://kalpavriksh.org/khonoma-village/|url-status=live|access-date=2020-06-11|website=kalpavriksh.org|language=en-US}}</ref>
