This book - Biodiversity Enrichment in a Diverse World - considered biodiversity (plants, animals, fungi, and microbes) from three different angles: genetics, species, and ecosystems. The relationships between them are complex and it looks at these aspects from different angles and also various interventions at different levels. The scientific approach of the book demonstrates that the three levels are closely inter-connected and action is therefore needed to conserve and protect the systems if the benefits provided to human life will continue to be available. However, conservation of the biological diversity is essentially an umbrella term for traditional species, relationship to human health, ecosystem conservation and the need to manage the human use of the species and ecosystems in a sustainable way.

Wetlands occur expansively all over the world in all the climatic zones, exhibit enormous diversity according to their genesis, geographical location, water regime and chemistry, dominant plants and sediment characters; providing food, fiber and raw materials, storm and flood control, clean water supply, scenic beauty and educational and recreational benefits. Besides, biotic-abiotic components and human inhabitants, the subsistence of these unique natural resources is under intimidation due to developmental activities, population pressure and anthropogenic stress; calls for a long term planning for preservation and conservation of these resources. The present book “Wetland Monitoring: A Practical Approach towards Eutrophication” focuses on abiotic components (hydrochemistry and geochemistry), biotic components (phytoplankton, zooplankton, aquatic macrophytes), biochemical profiling, degree of eutrophication, delineation of trophodynamics, metal accumulation, concentration, transport, and mobility of metals, and environmental modeling of significant wetlands of Central Gujarat, India. This book would certainly be useful and handy tool for students, academicians, researchers, scientists, practitioners and wetland managers at regional, national and global scale.

A Ramsar Site is a wetland site, designated to be of international importance. These wetlands are protected under strict guidelines of the Ramsar Convention on wetlands. It provides national action and international cooperation regarding the conservation of wetlands, and wise sustainable use of their resources. The mission of the Ramsar Convention is “Conservation and wise use of all wetlands through local and national actions and international cooperation, as a contribution towards achieving sustainable development throughout the world”. The Ramsar Convention, signed in 1971 in Ramsar, Iran, is the only global treaty that focuses specifically on wetlands. The Ramsar Convention is an international treaty for the conservation and sustainable utilization of wetlands, recognizing the fundamental ecological functions of wetlands and their economic, cultural, scientific, and recreational value. Today 170 nations are signatories to the Ramsar Convention. Ramsar identifies wetlands of international importance, especially those providing waterfowl habitat. Ramsar Sites in India are declared under the Ramsar Convention, which was established by UNESCO in 1971. A site is declared as a Ramsar Wetland Site in India, if it meets any one of the nine criteria set under the Convention of Wetland. India's tally of 49 designated wetlands spread over 10,936 sq km in 18 states and two Union Territories is the largest network of Ramsar Sites in South Asia. Till 2022, the number stood at 37, then 12 sites were added to the list including Thol Lake Bird Sanctuary and Wadhwana Bird Sanctuary in Gujarat. The book Conservation of Thol Lake Bird Sanctuary (Ramsar Site) and Bhaskarpura Wetland focuses on environmental, ecological, and biological studies of two major wetlands of Gujarat viz. Thol Lake Bird Sanctuary and Bhaskarpura Wetland, covering abiotic and biotic components, eutrophication, hydrochemistry, geochemistry, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and waterbirds. The book highlights an in-depth study of surface water and bottom sediment quality, diversity, density, abundance, commonness, rarity of plankton including qualitative and quantitative characters, diversity indices, population dynamics of waterbirds, and correlation between abiotic and biotic components. The book would unquestionably be the need of an hour for wetland managers, wetland conservationists, and policy makers or decision authorities to prevent the unrestrained exploitation of wetland biodiversity, destruction of potential wetland habitats, and uncontrolled interactions of man and technology with lentic ecosystems of the world.

Wetlands are amongst the World’s most productive ecosystems and provide a wide array of benefits. They also provide an ecological niche for the growth of rich flora and fauna, and enable the people to derive economic benefits. However, the growing population pressures, vastly changing social processes, and developmental activities have put a heavy toll on wetlands around the world. Especially, after the Ramsar Convention, need for sustainable management of these valuable ecosystems is strongly felt and many positive initiatives are taken during last decade. The Ministry of Environment and Forests & Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India have devoted considerable efforts to wetlands and their conservation since the setting up of a National Committee on Wetlands in 1983. The scheme on conservation and management of wetlands was started in 1986-1987 at national level with the objective of understanding a comprehensive study and maintenance of naturalness of important wetlands like Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary-The 1st Ramsar Site of Gujarat, India. Wetlands are highly dynamic systems, which continuously interact with other systems and anthropogenic activities in their catchments in various ways. All ecosystems interact with adjoining ecosystems in some manner, which are more varied and intense in case of natural wetlands like Nal Sarovar. Hydrology in this case refers to all water related features such as precipitation, inflow and outflow, evaporation and the resultant factors like depth and duration of water, frequency and duration of flooding, and the amplitude of water-level changes. Therefore, even small changes in the hydrological characteristics of the lake bring about significant changes in the community structure and function. It gives us an immense pleasure in presenting this comprehensive book on “Conserving Sanctity of Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary ‘Ramsar Site’ by Community Participatory Approach”. The Nal Sarovar, a shallow, permanent fresh water lake, that sprawl at the junction of mainland of Central Gujarat and Saurashtra, attracts one of the largest concentrations of migratory and resident waterfowl found in India. Although it is yet to be recognized internationally, the lake has been identified as priority site for intensive conservation and management of National Wetlands, Mangroves, and Coral Reefs Committee of the Ministry of Environment and Forests & Climate Change, Government of India. This book embodies an in-depth information on Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary in terms of point and non point sources of pollution, nutrient budget and recycling of nutrients in water and bottom sediments, planktons as indicators and markers of pollution, macrophytes as indicators of quality of wetlands, bioaccumulation of heavy metals in aquatic macrophytes, suitability of habitat for waterfowl conservation, impact of various anthropogenic pressures and conservation and site-specific management strategies for sustainable use of biotic resources with suitable recommendations and mitigating measures. We hope this book will be of great help to scientists, teachers, students, wetland conservationists, and managers in this field.
