Born out of a major international dialogue held at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice, Italy, this collection of essays presents innovative and provocative arguments about the claims of universal knowledge schemes and the different aesthetic and material forms in which such claims have been made and executed. Contributors take a close look at everything from religious pilgrimages, museums, and maps of the world, to search engines and automated GPS. Current obsessions in information technology, communications theory, and digital culture often concern the value and possibility of a grand accumulation of universally accessible forms of knowledge: total libraries, open data bases, ubiquitous computing, and ‘smart’ technologies. These obsessions have important social and philosophical origins, and they raise profound questions about the very nature of knowledge and its organization. This volume’s contributors draw on the histories of maps and of encyclopedias, worldviews and visionary collections, to make sense of the crucial relation between the way the world is known and how it might be displayed and transformed.

Dieses Praktikerbuch stammt von einem Autor mit langjähriger Erfahrung im Bereich der Ökologie von Insekten und Vögeln und einer herausragenden akademischen Laufbahn in den molekularen Biowissenschaften. Es ist eine willkommene Herausforderung und stellt die weitverbreiteten Ansichten herkömmlicher Umweltpolitik in Frage. Werner Kunz erläutert überzeugend, warum die Aufrechterhaltung einer großen Biodiversität in Europe ganz erheblich von offenen Flächen und karger Vegetation abhängig ist, d. h. Flächen, die weder intensiv nach Aspekten der modernen Landwirtschaft bewirtschaftet noch wieder aufgeforstet werden. Er stellt die weitverbreitete Meinung in Frage, dass Naturschutz mit Artenschutz gleichzusetzen sei, und zeigt, wie bedrohte Tierarten durch ein technisches Design des Lebensraums gerettet werden können. Ein Muss für Umweltbehörden, politische Entscheidungsträger, Ökologen und alle, die Zeuge davon sind, wie aktuell in Zentraleuropa Arten verschwinden.

The goal of sustainable development is to advance society while tackling existing needs without compromising the capability of upcoming generations to encounter their own. Sustainable development is constantly looking for ways to strike a balance between sociocultural preservation, environmental preservation, economic growth and development, prevention, and well-being. Protection, restoration, and promotion of sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, handling forests sustainably, prevention of desertification, stopping and retreating land degradation, and uncertain biodiversity loss are the objectives of Sustainable Development Goal 15 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In this case, ecosystems and biodiversity are key components of many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and related objectives. Since biodiversity is at the heart of many economic activities, particularly those involving crop and livestock agriculture, forestry, and fishing. A large portion of the human population is closely depending on their surrounding natural resources for survival, and many of them are the utmost helpless people rely solely on biodiversity to meet their daily subsistence needs. The present book ‘Biodiversity Conservation and Bioresource Utilisation for Sustainable Development: A Holistic Approach’ which includes 21 chapters, is an attempt to discuss the present status of the biodiversity conservation and their use for sustainable development which includes exploiting natural resources responsibly, reducing pollution, mitigating climate change, ethnomedicine, etc. Plants have traditionally been used for the treatment of human ailments. The article ‘Ethnomedicinal Practices of the Kolha Tribe of Khejuripada Village, Mayurbhanj, Odisha’ of Menjoti Naik, Basanta Kumar Mohanta, Mahasweta Mohanta, Manu Naik and Samir Mahrana emphasized the importance of documenting and preserving the traditional healing knowledge regarding ethnomedicinal practices of the Kolha tribe of village Khajuripada, of Kusumi block, Mayurbhanj, Odisha to ensure its preservation for future generations. Similarly, in their work Akash Minz, Prabhasini Sundi, Subhani Rath recorded the indigenous and standard practices for human diseases control, of the ethnic groups (Oraon, Kharia, Munda, etc) in Hemgir block, Sundargarh, Odisha. Which showed that traditional medicine, mainly involving the use of medicinal plants, is playing a significant role in meeting the primary healthcare needs of these local communities of the study area. The floral and faunal resources of Similipal Biosphere Reserve are having various types of medicinal and economic values. Through their articles on the wild edible mushroom of Similipal Biosphere Reserve, when Jiban Jyoti Panda, Debasis Nayak and Yugal Kishore Mohanta tried to analyse the Potential Aspects of the Wild Edible Mushroom of Similipal Biosphere Reserve and discussed the Ethnomedicinal Value, Nutritional Aspect, Bioactive Compounds and Bioactivity, Bioactivity, Human Diseases, Industrially Important Enzymes etc. Shubham Pradhan, Bijayananda Sahoo, Satyabrata Dash and Biswajit Rath aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition and bioactive potential of lichens from Similipal Biosphere Reserve and highlighted the chemical diversity and bioactive potential of corticolous lichens. Correspondingly, Dibya Ranjan Nayak, Shubham Pratik Mohanta, Subhani Rath have discussed about the Scientific Importance of Bee-Forage Plants, Key Floral Characteristics Supporting Bees in Odisha, Ecological Significance in Odisha, Economic and Agricultural Linkage, Agricultural Crops, Forest and Wild Flora, Horticultural Plants; Ecological Importance of Honey Bee–Plant Interactions, including Pollination Services, Biodiversity Conservation, Soil and Water Health; Economic Significance-Apiculture Development, Employment and Women Empowerment, Organic and Niche Market Potential etc. The Current distribution, status, threats and conservation of Indian Skimmers is a major content of Gatikrishna Behera and Ashok Kumar Mallik article where they explored the current distribution and status of this remarkable bird, highlighting its populations in the Mahanadi, Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers. And highlighted the bird's ecological significance within riverine ecosystems. By addressing these challenges, we can work towards a brighter future for this remarkable species. The fishing industry is a crucial component of global food production and economic growth, but it also generates vast amounts of waste, including fish scales, bones, skin, and internal organs. These by products, if discarded improperly, contribute to environmental pollution. The article ‘rethinking fish waste: transforming an environmental challenge into a sustainable opportunity’ of Gargee Mohanty explores the current scale of fish waste generation, innovative solutions for repurposing it, and the necessary steps for product development, regulatory approvals, and commercialization. Consistently, Bishnupriya Hansdah and A. A. Singha analysed the In vitro micropropagation of a valuable medicinal plant Paederia foetida L. using nodal explants. In their survey on the major cause and remedies Of Human-Sloth Bear Conflicts, Nibedita Mohapatra, Puspanjali Parida and Jagat Jeevan Rout aims to understand the nature of human-sloth bear conflicts in Odisha where they discussed the Human-Sloth Bear Conflict Patterns in Eastern India, Socio-Ecological Drivers of Conflict, Mitigation Strategies for Human-Sloth Bear Coexistence, Current existing status of bear, Attitude of a sloth bear, Sharing of resources, Habitat management and tried to identify key issues for human-sloth bear conflict and quantify the nature and intensity of conflict between human and sloth bear in their studied area of Kuldhia and Nilgiri wildlife range, under Balasore wildlife Division, Odisha. The coastal region of Odisha, which is ecologically significant, is home to a wide variety of terrestrial mammals found in its forests, wetlands, and estuarine habitats.The review on Mammalian Fauna and the Impact of Cyclones and Ecotourism in the Coastal Ecosystem of Odisha of Jyoti Shankar Sahu, Rashmi Ranjan Das, Debasis Nayak, Ashok Kumar Mallik explores the distribution, ecology, and population dynamics of important terrestrial mammals in the coastal regions of Odisha, while considering both natural and human-induced pressures. Similipal Biosphere Reserve is indeed an important natural treasure and holds significance for several reasons as the 7th largest biosphere reserve in India. Deepak Mishra and Suvendu Kumar Satapathy attempted to explore the basic reason of forest fire and to understand the relationship between forest fire and tribal Livelihood in Kaptipada block. In their article the historical and contemporary perspectives on the tiger beetle research in India, Manoranjan Parida, Kiran Kumar Bhuyan and Ashok Kumar Mallik discussed the habitat, morphology, life cycle, behaviour of the Tiger Beetle and their ecological significances. The primary objective of the study of Kabita Kumari Sahu is to analyse the economic dimensions of Sabai grass crafts, focusing on cost, revenue, and profitability, with a special emphasis on the livelihoods of rural and tribal artisans in the Similipal Biosphere Reserve (SBR) of Odisha. The tribal environment is the outcome of their interaction with natural environment since long back. Their environment is comprised of abiotic elements, flora and fauna including their social and cultural fabrics. Janki Prasad and Basanta Kumar Mohanta attempted to understand tribal environment and ecosystem and their perspectives on nature conservation. This study of Manu Naik, Debasmita Sendha, Bhubaneswar Sabar and Basanta Kumar Mohanta explores how these cultural expressions reflect the Dongria Kandha's symbiotic relationship with their environment, adaptive strategies, and innovative responses to environmental challenges. By contextualizing these findings within the broader framework of sustainability and conservation, this research contributes to a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between human societies and their environments. Likely, in their article ‘Kangdali Festival of Rung Community in Pithoragarh District of Uttarakhand’ Ashok Kumar Sahani and Kareena Dattal explore the cultural, historical, socio economic impact and ecological significance of the festival, its impact on biodiversity and how it serves as a medium for community co-hension, integrity and fellow feellingness among community with environmental conservation. A Socio-Economic Understanding of The Bhatu Community of Central India is a focal point of discussion made by Subhajit Sen where he explores the community’s current living conditions, focusing on key indicators such as education, employment, health, and access to government welfare schemes. Further, the study of N.R. Rahul and Banita Behera investigates the origins, progression, and effects of human-caused environmental changes in the region. The study aims to establish long-term ecological restoration solutions by reevaluating the Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel's recommendations. We hope, this book will be helpful for the students, scholars, faculty, scientists, professional, planners of this area.

Perspectives on Nature Conservation demonstrates the diversity of information and viewpoints that are critical for appreciating the gaps and weaknesses in local, regional and hemispheric ecologies, and also for understanding the limitations and barriers to accomplishing critical nature conservation projects. The book is organized to emphasize the linkages between the geographic foci of conservation projects and the biological substances that we conceptualize as "nature", through original research. The reader moves through perspectives of diminishing spatial scales, from smaller to larger landscapes or larger portions of the Earth, to learn that the range of factors that promote or prevent conservation through the application of scholarship and academic concepts change with the space in question. The book reflects disciplinary diversity and a co-mingling of science and social science to promote understanding of the patterns of, pressures on and prospects for conservation.
