Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book traces the evolution of wildlife management in the state of Karnataka in India. It provides glimpses of how the concept of wildlife management grew as an offshoot of forest management and evolved into an overarching policy initiative. It presents a chronological account of the development of national wildlife policies, plans and strategies and their impact on the wildlife management in the states. The book highlights the events that unfolded as production-centric management gave way to wildlife-centric management in certain designated forest areas, known as Protected Areas. It outlines a significant aspect of wildlife conservation in the state—namely, the immense contribution of a ‘conservation-oriented forest management’ approach that the Forest Department has adopted since the 1980s for management of all types of forests in the state. The challenges faced by wildlife officers in handling matters related to man-animal conflict, rehabilitation of people from protected areas and forest protection with possible suggestions to resolve them are related. The need to take cautious steps in strengthening wildlife tourism and research is emphasized. The book also examines the relative merits of the forest laws and wildlife laws, and calls for wider application of the wildlife laws to protect the vanishing forests, especially in the eastern plains.

Download or read book Stranger at Home Teak Forests of Karnataka written by Dipak Sarmah, IFS (Retd.) and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peninsular India is one among the few regions of the world harboring natural teak forests. Karnataka is one of the states in the region that was blessed with extensive teak forests. Due to centuries of heavy exploitation for the prized wood and large-scale artificial introduction of teak since more than a century, the pristine teak forests have shrunk rapidly, being now confined only to a few pockets, mostly in the protected areas. Natural teak has virtually become an endangered species. The book, Stranger at Home – Teak Forests of Karnataka, attempts at sharing some information about the extensive natural teak forests that existed in Karnataka in the distant past. It also dwells upon the history of the development of teak plantations in the state. For various reasons including policy changes, court directives, lack of adequate funds, manpower, etc., management of these plantations has been a challenging task. The impact of monoculture on the biodiversity of the natural forest had also come in for sharper scrutiny and severe criticism. All these developments have somewhat slowed down the activities related to the management of the plantations, at times bordering on inaction. The book discusses various aspects and challenges associated with the management of teak forests and plantations, suggesting ways and means to forge ahead in the context of overall forest conservation with a special focus on biodiversity conservation.

The main source of data collection for this study was through questionnaire and interview with agriculturists, revenue officials and investors on land in Kodagu. The book showcase that Bhoomi project has been beneficial to the stakeholders by minimizing the time and effort in obtaining the required documents from land revenue office.

There is also a detailed assessment of the threats to forest and wildlife conservation and practical ways to address these challenges. The book argues that optimizing productivity from forests and addressing the underlying livelihood issues of the forest-dependent communities hold the key to an effective forest and wildlife conservation.

Recognizing the significance of people’s participation, the book suggests ways to meaningfully involve people in forest and wildlife conservation.

Yet many countries of the world notably those on the European continent and in Latin America, have insisted that biological and constitutional factors are more influential in eliciting criminal behaviour.

A region's climate is generated by the climate system, which has five components: atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere.

Book excerpt: The Indian growth story has been one of high Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth but primarily driven by the growth in services sector. Growth may be higher in the last two decades but inclusive growth or equitable development has been missing. Inclusive growth thus seeks to broaden the flow of benefits of globalization towards the currently excluded sections. Economic growth in Karnataka primarily driven by services (55.17%). The Contribution of the industrial sector is smaller which contributes only 16.22 percent to overall growth compared to 30.20 percent at the All-India level. Economic growth particularly pro-poor growth in terms of concentrating on agriculture and employment are important in order to reduce poverty. However, economic growth alone will not be sufficient to lift some people above poverty. Despite achieving the MDG on poverty, a large number of SC, STs will remain poor even if the growth rate is hiked. Karnataka economic growth may be improving but Karnataka is lagging behind southern states like Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Karnataka is need to operationalize a plan to accelerate growth in agriculture, employment, and social sector development and in reducing regional disparities for achieving inclusive growth during the 12th Five Year Plan period and beyond in Karnataka. The action plan should cover the priority areas like agriculture, employment and social sectors. It should have a plan for removing economic and social deprivation across all regions.
