The Essays In This Book Deal With Many Facets Of The Natural World And The World Of Humans, And How The Two Impinge On Each Other. The Author`S Detailed Studies Of Hunting And Gathering Communities Led Him To Controversially Champion Traditional Methods Of Conserving Nature. The Merits Of State-Sponsored Conservation Initiatives Are Weighed Up In His Work, As Is Planned `Development`. He Argues Passionately Against Directing Energy, Water And Raw Materials Towards Intensive Agriculture And Urban Development At At The Cost Of The Rural Poor. He Calls For Radical Changes In The Indian Polity So That People Are Not Denied Basic Information And Therefore Prevented From Participating In Development Issues. These Essays Stimulate And Provoke Us To Think For Ourselves About The Natural World And Our Relationship With It, Urging Us To Take A Hand In Shaping It.

This is the first comprehensive science-based introductory primer to highlight the unique ecosystem services provided by mangrove forests, and discuss how these services preserve the livelihoods of coastal populations. The book presents three decades of real-time data on Sundarbans and Bhitarkanika mangroves in India measuring carbon and nitrogen sequestration, as well as case studies that demonstrate the utility provided by mangroves for reducing the impact of storms and erosion, providing nutrient retention for complex habitats, and housing a vast reservoir of plant, animal and microbial biodiversity. Also addressed is the function of mangroves as natural ecosystems of cultural convergence, offering the resources and products necessary for thriving coastal communities. The book will be of interest to students, academics and researchers in the fields of oceanography, marine biology, botany, climate science, ecology and environmental geography, as well as consultants and policy makers working in coastal zone management and coastal biodiversity conservation.

Over 45,000 plant and 77,000 animal species have been recorded in India and make up 7 per cent of the total plant and 6.4 per cent of the total animal species found in the world. The enormous variation of landscapes due to climate and topography has created different ecosystems that support and nurture this bio-diversity. From the majestic Himalayas in the North to the lush tropics of the South, the precious natural resources of this subcontinent are found in forest, grassland, island, coastal belt, marine, desert and semi-arid ecosystems. Industrialization and modern ways of life are pillaging these resources and posing a monumental threat to the natural world. It is estimated that as many as 50 per cent of the earth's species are likely to become extinct during the first two decades of the 21st century.

Over all distribution of these mangrove plants in the Indian territories and abroad and their present status within India are dealt vividly by short description with key characters of these available Indian mangroves and mangrove associated plants along with its photographs, mentioning of habits and habitat condition, correct identifying key characters, nomenclature, taxonomic status, local and common names, etc. Besides these, the mention of the world distribution of mangroves and the world mangrove species along with their ideal habitat conditions are also dealt. Necessary photographs and description of their diverse aerial root system, canopy structure, flowers, fruits, viviparous germinated hypocotyles and interesting seedling developmental stages are also highlighted; as such, it is the most important handbook and as the field guide book for identifying each and every individual Indian mangrove plant species, along with their status. The overall conservation strategies of these mangroves, need for coastal zone stabilisation or protection of coastal areas by conserving these mangrove ecosystem and the need for maintaining the coastal fisheries potentialities with the mangroves are also dealt critically with the mention of sustainable utilization and relationship of these coastal and estuarine fisheries and mangrove ecosystem, as well.

This book brings together the latest information on the rapid advances and developments in the field of aquatic ecology. India is very rich in terms of biological diversity due to its wide range of habitats and climatic conditions. It is home to as much as 7 per cent of the world’s animal species, although it only accounts for about 2 per cent of the total landmass. The present work on biodiversity, ecology and conservation of aquatic resources represents original research in the field of aquatic biodiversity, wetland ecology and its applications with reference to the country’s aquatic resources. There are 19 chapters, each contributed by an expert in his/her particular field and offering novel approaches to various topics in the area of aquatic ecosystems.
