Synopsis There is an integral relationship of interdependence between Man, Environment and Wildlife resources. Man without his dependence on natural assets is just an abstract and would be a most helpless dummy denizen of the planet Earth. The nature has very intelligently evolved the human species on earth to provide protection to the entire spectrum of the existing natural resources. In India the wildlife is the worst victim of over-exploitation. The magnificent Indian Cheetah has already become extinct and can be seen no longer now in India.Recent reports indicate that many plants and animal species are slipping into extinction at a stunning rate. In the next three decades, fully a fifth of the earth's species could vanish for ever. The rate of extinction of these species is so fast and alarming that we are loosing one species per day and if goes unchecked we may loose one species per hour in the near future.The present book is an edited work containing several classical contributions of various experts of the subject. Each contributor has discussed in depth the subject-matter in an uptodate form to make this book indispensable reading for the naturalists, ecologists, environmentalists, wildlife experts, climatologists, agriculturists, scholars and scientists.
