Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: The Himalaya needs no introduction. For obvious reasons it has remained a source of fascination and inspiration for people from all walks of life. Almost all the natural resources of the Himalaya have presented a challenge for environmental scientists and planners alike. It is principally because of their numbers, an extensive array of natural characteristics and the complexity of the cultural pattern of the mountains that the Himalayan environment has lured the intelligensia of the world. However, hostile natural environment together with illconceived human activities have added fury to the fire. It is not an exaggeration, therefore, that the environment of our fragile mountain ecosystem in utter disrepair and indeed in very poor state of health. The renewed enthusiasm for man and biosphere and sustainable development had stemmed in no small measure from the tremendous interest in ecology juxtaposed to man s growing awareness of the degraded Himalaya. As the issues and challenges involved in describing mutual conditioning of the environmental cycles and human association in the Himalaya, quantitative and qualitative surveys for whole stretch of the Central Himalaya in question have not been attempted thus far. We have all good reasons to believe that environmental consciousness is extremely necessary in order to restore the balance in ecological components of the Himalaya.
