Concepts in Wildlife Management 3rd Revised and Enlarged Edn

India is the seventh largest country and Asias second most populous country with an area of 3 387 263 km-2. It possesses diverse climatic regions and habitats. Though India became independent six decades ago still we are unable to document and manage our wildlife resources. Presently most of the literature on wildlife is available in the form of few books and monographs which are mainly related to European and African wild life. Good number of workers are involved in the study of wildlife of India and these persons work for their specific research projects and it is Degree oriented many time they do not visit field or they rely on secondary data or only depend on their project fellows information. Such studies will not give true picture about the ground reality specially it is true about studies on Avifauna. Presently there are six Institutes in India which offer M. Sc. in wild life. Most of these students suffer from non availability of books and relevant information. Now a days study on wild life has been tagged with eco-tourism concept which become an attractive tool to invite tourists and hence to earn income. An attempt is made in this book to provide all the important information on wildlife.
