Abstract

Overexploitation of natural resources coupled with anthropogenic climatic variations has put the ecosystem services under enormous pressure not only at macro levels but also at micro levels thereby presenting challenges in social, economic, ecological and biological fronts. Sustainable use of natural resources and their conservation strategies require interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary thinking. The threat is especially severe in regions where people’s livelihoods depend largely on natural resources. The objective of this book is to translate the body of scientific knowledge for proper conservation of natural resources and biodiversity in India’s sensitive eco-regions and use them sustainably in the interest of our future generations. It may contribute effectively to suggest possible roadmap as well as strategies to address livelihood issues locally and globally while ensuring inclusive growth and social inclusion at large.
