This volume brings together a collection of case studies examining wildlife ecology and conservation across India. The book explores and examines a wide range of fauna across different terrains and habitats in India revealing key issues and concerns for biodiversity conservation with a particular emphasis on the impact of humans and climate change. Case-studies are as wide-ranging as tigers leopards sloth bears pheasants insects and birds across a diverse range of landscapes including forests wetlands and nature reserves and even a university campus. Split into three parts Part I focuses on how the distribution of animals is influenced by the availability of resources such as food water and space. Chapters examine key determinants such as diet and prey and habitat preferences with habitat loss also being an important factor. In Part II chapters examine human-wildlife interactions dealing with issues such as the impact of urbanisation the establishment of nature reserves and competition for resources. The book concludes with an examination of landscape ecology and conservation with chapters in Part III focusing on habitat degradation changes in land-use patterns and ecosystem management. Overall the volume not only reflects the great breadth and depth of biodiversity in India but offers important insights into the challenges facing biodiversity conservation not only in this region but worldwide. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of wildlife ecology conservation biology biodiversity conservation and the environmental sciences more broadly. | Case Studies of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation in India
