Managing biodiversity for climate change mitigation/adaptation and socio-economic development: strategic actions. References. United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and Inter-governmental panel on climate change (IPCC) laid down a global strategy of saving the mankind from the threats posed by changing climate and loss of biodiversity. These changes are confounded with other global changes in biophysical social economic political environment. Harmonization of environmental, economic and social development trajectories, the path of sustainable development, has been on the forefront of the global agenda. Persistence of current climate change trend will threaten biodiversity conservation in future. Nevertheless, judicious management of biodiversity cold mitigate climate change. Himalayan mountain system covering partly/fully eight countries (viz, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, China, Bhutan, Bhutan and Myanmar), is distinguished globally for its immense biodiversity and sensitivity to climate change. Responding to the global importance of the Himalaya, India has drawn a National Mission "Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem as part of the National Action Plan on Climate Change. This publication, an outcome of the research and development activities supported by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and cultural organization (UNESCO Regional office, New Delhi), the United Nations University (UNU, Tokyo), MacArthur Foundation, Asia Pacific Network for Sustainable Forest Management and Rehabilitation (APFNet) and Asia Pacific Network (APN), publication provides an overview of the state of knowledge about climate change and biodiversity management and their linkages with socio-economic development in the Himalaya, with particular reference to the Himalayan region of India, with an ultimate objective of identifying research and development action points to be pursued for managing Himalayan biodiversity for climate change mitigation/adaptation and socio-economic development.

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 are 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.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. The proportion of 'Reached' to 'Unreached' tilts heavily towards the latter in our country. In spite of the fact that we have achieved great strides of innovativeness in space, digital and agricultural technology, the population under the poverty line is still alarmingly high. There are plans and programmes designed and launched to promote inclusive development. Obviously the effort is not adequate. Abdul Kalam's dream of PURA is still unfulfilled. It is time we rise to the occasion. The book that is being conceived to be brought out addresses the issue to usher in sustainable development for the wellbeing of the society both urban and rural through application of advances in Life Sciences, Animal, Veterinary and Fisheries sciences in particular. The editors need to be complimented for putting together a bunch of articles in diverse fields of life sciences with a common goal of health of the society. The articles ranging from antimicrobials, antiviral, fish and dairy management, rodent control, mosquito control, biodiversity including invasive alien species and their impact. The book is good for teachers, researchers and students equally. The whole effort supports the concept of unity in diversity. The article on obesity in students is a warning bell to youth to think in terms of yoga and other health practices in order to be able to live up to the adage 'Healthy body houses a Healthy mind'.…
