About the Book
The present volume is a significant attempt towards the mystifying phenomena of Himalayan ecology & Environmental resources. Himalayan ecology is, however, struggling to create its niche as a sub-discipline and as the erosion syndrome over the Himalaya gathers storm, this theme will increasingly catch the attention of the decision makers. Made up of complex eco-systems, the Himalayan ecosphere has eluded the grasp of scientists bound with a mono-disciplinary approach. It covers diverse aspects of the subject through 3 Parts: Ecology, Environmental resources and Case studies. The watersheds in the Himalayan eco-system are being widely devastated. The sound of dynamic explosions, earth moving machinery, axes and power saws, are disturbing the ecological balance. In the hilly terrains the poorly managed human activities are causing accelerated erosion. The main object of the present volume, is create environmental consciousness among the people. An honest effort has, therefore, been made to touch all the vital issues of Central Himalayan ecology and Environmental resources. The book will prove useful equally to students, scientists and social engaged in regional development of Himalayan region.
