Book Description
The botanical account of the protected areas is important for the conservation and management of biodiversity and ecosystem. The Pabitora Wildlife Sanctuary is one of such protected area in Assam in North Eastern India. The area is famous for the highest density of the Indian one-horned Rhinoceros in the world. The sanctuary is also well known for its wetland habitat which provides the suitable site for migratory birds and fish fauna. The present study highlights the floristic wealth of the sanctuary which is the outcome of the intensive botanical collection and observation for the period of four year from 1995 to 1998. The present book presents the botanical accounts, phytogeography, vegetation and ecosystem of the sanctuary. It covers 724 species under 492 genera 142 families of vascular plants. The work also focus the pattern of floristic diversity, phenology of some common plants with a brief account of fodder plants, medicinal, economically important plants, rare and endemic plants etc of the area. The study based on the revised taxonomic monographic work and recent taxonomic nomenclature. Contents Chapter 1: General Introduction; Chapter 2: Study Area; Chapter 3: History of the Botanical Exploration; Chapter 4: Vegetation and Wildlife; Chapter 5: Phytogeography; Chapter 6: Important Plants; Chapter 7: Taxonomic Treatment; Chapter 8: Status of Diversity; Chapter 9: Phenology; Chapter 10: General Conclusion.

Book Description
Biodiversity conservation in Assam is vital for the preservation of unique and diverse ecosystems within the region. Known as one of the earth's biodiversity hotspots, Assam boasts a vast range of flora and fauna, including numerous endangered species such as the Indian rhinoceros and pygmy hog. Efforts to conserve this rich biodiversity are multifaceted, involving various stakeholders such as government agencies, NGOs, and local communities. Conservation initiatives focus on protected areas like Kaziranga National Park, Manas National Park and other National Parks & Wildlife sanctuaries implementing measures to mitigate threats such as habitat loss, illegal wildlife trafficking, and human-wildlife conflicts. Additionally, these initiatives recognize the importance of involving local communities in sustainable resource management practices that both protect biodiversity and enhance economic livelihoods. Through collaboration and strict enforcement of conservation laws and regulations, Assam aims to safeguard its natural heritage for future generations while fostering coexistence between humans and wildlife.

Book Description
This book presents a comprehensive account of the transformation of Assam's forests and ecology from early nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century. It locates present-day ecological conflicts in the colonial era when contest over forest, land, and resource began to take new shape. Arupjyoti Saikia delineates how forest resources in Assam were mapped and intergrated with mechant capitalism since the early nineteenth century. He shows how imperial forestry practices led to changes in traditional resource utilization patterns. The book also examines the political economy of conservation practices. It explores the question of law and conservation, role of institutions and organizations, and the changing role of the forests in imperial economy. The book argues how the making of forest policy in the postcolonial period was defind by the complexities of the political matrix. It discusses plantation, silvicultural practices, protection and regeneration of forests, and livlihood practices. The author also analyses public debates surrounding ecology and environmental changes in conservation practices after the 1980 Act.

Book Description
Understanding the balance of society and nature is imperative when researching ecosystems and their global influence. A method of studying the health of these ecosystems is biodiversity. The more diverse the species that live in an ecosystem, the healthier it is. As the climate continues to transform, small-scale ecosystems are affected, altering their diversity. Environmentalists need a book of research that studies the specific impacts of climate change and how it affects the future of the environment. Current State and Future Impacts of Climate Change on Biodiversity is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on biological systems and how climate change influences their health. While highlighting topics such as genetic diversity, economic valuation, and climatic conditions, this publication explores the effects of climate change as well as the methods of sustainable management within ecosystems. This book is ideally designed for environmental scientists, environmental professionals, scientists, ecologists, conservationists, government officials, policymakers, agriculturalists, environmentalists, zoologists, botanists, entomologists, urban planners, researchers, scholars, and students seeking research on current and future developments of various ecosystems.
