Subject Index. Marginal areas face a range of ecological social and economic constraints such as steep slope low soil fertility recurrent droughts/floods and poor access to markets public services and information. These constraints limit adoption of intensive agriculture technologies developed to suit the needs and circumstances in the mainstream areas. A large number of people live in marginal areas and many in extreme poverty. Improving livelihoods in marginal areas is a pressing need but application of conventional development models may not be feasible. Designing and implementing innovative approaches which enhance local livelihoods coupled with conservation and sustainable use of natural resources is a challenge to scientists as well as development practitioners. From October 29 to 30 2003 an international symposium discussed and reviewed alternative approaches to enhancing small scale livelihoods and natural resource management in marginal areas in monsoon Asia this book is an outcome of the papers presented in the symposium. This publication it is hoped will be helpful in gaining the basic information about the present state of natural resource management and livelihoods and in getting insights for further research and development needs in marginal monsoon region of Asia. 178 pp.

Living with global environmental changes: vulnerability mitigation and adaptation. Subject Index. Mountain ecosystems occupy only about 20% of earth's surface and ar…e home to 10% of the human population. These ecosystems are globally significant for several reasons: (i) they are cosmopolitan in distribution, from the equator to the poles, coastal to continental regions and from the arid to tropical humid areas (ii) they as a result of altitudinal gradients, orographic settings geological histories and isolation imposed by a dissected terrain support higher levels of ecological and socio cultural diversity compared to other terrestrial landscapes (iii) they being the sources of all major river systems across the globe are source water in lowlands supporting several millions of people and provide opportunities of environmentally sound way of electricity production (iv) they remain the storehouse of a range of ecosystem goods and services critical for the global community, (iv) they have immense sacred and cultural values and hence are popular tourists destinations, (v) they are undergoing drastic changes under the influence global environmental changes parallelly with economic globalization and socio-cultural political transformation and iv. cutting across national boundaries they demand regional and international cooperation for meeting the conservation development challenges.
