Soft cover. Zustand: New. India faces an ecological crisis of massive proportions The overexploitation of the country?s forests and wetlands is eating away at vital ecological processes Rapid and unplanned economic development threatens to fragment and devour the wildlife habitats that remain Plant and animal species are joining the ranks of the critically endangered at faster rates than ever before Using the Sariska Tiger Reserve as one of its major anchors this book analyses the historical socio-political and biological contexts of nature conservation in the country in an effort to identify the malaise underlying India?s dominant conservation paradigm which is primarily one of top-down control and exclusion It then surveys alternative approaches to conservation emerging in India and elsewhere which attempt to reconcile social equity with biodiversity goals The author argues that a broad-based participatory approach to conservation accommodating both use-based and preservationist paradigms is necessary if we are to see India?s extraordinary wildlife survive into the next century Environmental justice and improved governance have to be as much a part of this agenda as sound ecological science and practice 288 pp.

Wildlife today is competing with some of India's most underprivileged people for survival. This apart commercial and industrial pressures from far outside part boundaries reverberate within these fragile ecological oases making them vulnerable in a way they never have been before. Reconciling the question of preserving what little wildlife remains with the needs of humans has never seemed as tangled. Fortress conservation based solely on strict nature protection is one response to these pressures a response under attack. Recent tiger crises and tribal land rights debates have highlighted the opposition of strict preservationists to advocates of people's rights. Meanwhile fresh work in sociology and biology and innovative interventions show new ways forward that do not neatly fit existing paradigms. The book moves from generalities to specifics from ideal models to working approaches that seek to secure India's biodiversity by fashioning practical responses based on new often unexpected partnerships. A lucid introduction outlines the conservation situation in India the essays that follow illustrate various facets of it. Each essay is deeply grounded in the field the authors explore whether and how far animal and human needs can be reconciled. Making Conservation work articulates a new urgent discourse on conservation. It is a volume that looks ahead with cautious hope. For all who want to understand the conservation debate today this is an indispensable book. 298 pp.

Wildlife Conservation in Landscapes Fragmented by Plantation Crops/Divya Mudappa, M Ananda Kumar and TR Shankar Raman. Bibliography. Index. This book explores the ways in which conservation of biodiversity can coexist with human actions and interests through a series of eight essays. These are tied together by an analytical introduction by the editors. It seeks to supplement the dominant discourse of conservation in India, which has traditionally depended on fencing off fragments of habitats and guarding them against human encroachment. However, formally designated Protected Areas occupy a very small proportion of territory and are therefore limited in value. Nature and natural processes transcend human boundaries and cannot be contained within the borders of nature reserves. This eclectic collection of essays explores inclusive conservation approaches in a spectrum of landscapes, from lake restoration in a metropolis to the issue of overfishing on the coastline. In the cases studied here, conservation action takes the producers or residents own imperatives into account along with wider ecological challenges. This method of conservation forges links with a range of actors: cultivators, herders, fishers and plantation owners, in addition to the government, the middle class and literati.

In twenty-first century India, characterised by economic reforms and increased global demand for natural resources and minerals, the environment, primary resources, biodiversity and wilderness have come under unprecedented stress. In this context, Nature Conservation in the New Economy presents studies of conservation efforts after economic liberalisation, and the institutional, legal, scientific, political and social constraints in meeting conservation goals. Building on sustained case research across India, the chapters in this book examine conservation policies in diverse contexts, such as the Wildlife Protection Act in Northeast India; the management of Delhi s forests; conservation of the Chilgoza pine forests in the Western Himalayas and rainforests in the Jaintia hills, Meghalaya; and forest preservation in the Western Ghats. Nature Conservation in the New Economy also explores laws and regulatory policies on species reintroduction, coastal conservation and wetland management in India. The book argues that apart from the increased stress on natural resources and habitats, economic liberalisation has also led to conservation efforts becoming more enterprise-oriented. The authors study the relationship between wildlife conservation and local people; institutions and social change; and the role of science in conservation. (jacket).

There are many books dealing with this specialized subject but when the author engaged himself in this work he found from his study and experience that the conversion tables in circulation are not very comprehensive and suffered mainly from two shortcomings inaccuracy and intricacy. This work tries to rectify both. On this topic author's cyclopedic work of interchanging Gregorian and Hijrah dates from 120 BH to 2010 AH (506 AD to 2571 AD) has already published under the title of A Compendium of Muslim and Christian Dates. But in the present title author has specifically compiled the Julian Era dates from 564 AD to 1582 AD (60 BH to 990 AH) and the Gregorian Era dates from 1583 AD (991 AH) onwards. This work consists of four chapters in all. Chapter I is exclusively devoted to the delineating the inadequacy of the extant conversion tables adoption of the new style dates interchanging of the old and new style dates and the Muslim day and the Christian day. Chapter II is concerned with interchanging of the Hijrah and Christina dates from 564 AD (60BH) onwards. Chapter III deals with the formulas to calculate the Julian or the Gregorian date of the first day of any Iunar month from 564 AD (60 BH) onwards. Chapter IV is exclusively for interchanging of the old and new style dates. This handbook of interchanging Muslim and Christian Era dates has been prepared after considerable study and labour with the hope that it will be useful to students and scholars as well as laymen alike. 106 pp.

There was widespread pessimism about the development prospects of Bangladesh during the period following independence. Contrary to the prevailing concerns however Bangladesh has achieved considerable success and performed well in several areas of development. Improvements in human development have been particularly remarkable. The economy has also moved to a higher growth path over the last two decades. Not only economic growth has picked up but it has been less volatile and more stable compared to most South and East Asian countries. Perhaps this has led many to believe that Bangladesh can realise its growth potential so as to join the ranks of middle income countries within a decade or so. The transition to the high growth regime however has been accompanied by worsening income distribution over time. This obviously raises serious concern about the quality of growth in terms of rate of poverty reduction degree of income inequality and generation of productive employment. What kind of economic growth is Bangladesh attaining. Has the growth process been sufficiently broad based and inclusive. How to accelerate the rate of economic growth and achieve further improvement in human development. An international conference was organized by BIDS in December 2007 on the occasion of its Golden Jubilee Celebration. The broad theme of the conference was Development Prospects of Bangladesh Emerging Challenges in which some of the questions raised above were addressed. A number of renowned national and international experts who were closely associated with BIDS in the past participated in the conference. A selection of papers presented in the conference and the proceedings of the panel discussion have been published in this volume. It is expected that the ideas presented in the papers and the engaging intellectual debate on development experience emerging challenges and policy options for development of Bangladesh will be useful to the wide audience both academicians and development practitioners alike. 358 pp.
