Soft cover. Condition: New. India faces an ecological crisis of massive proportions The overexploitation of the country?s forests and wetlands is eating away at vital ecological processes Rapid and unplanned economic development threatens to fragment and devour the wildlife habitats that remain Plant and animal species are joining the ranks of the critically endangered at faster rates than ever before Using the Sariska Tiger Reserve as one of its major anchors this book analyses the historical socio-political and biological contexts of nature conservation in the country in an effort to identify the malaise underlying India?s dominant conservation paradigm which is primarily one of top-down control and exclusion It then surveys alternative approaches to conservation emerging in India and elsewhere which attempt to reconcile social equity with biodiversity goals The author argues that a broad-based participatory approach to conservation accommodating both use-based and preservationist paradigms is necessary if we are to see India?s extraordinary wildlife survive into the next century Environmental justice and improved governance have to be as much a part of this agenda as sound ecological science and practice 288 pp.…

Wildlife today is competing with some of India's most underprivileged people for survival. This apart commercial and industrial pressures from far outside part boundaries reverberate within these fragile ecological oases making them vulnerable in a way they never have been before. Reconciling the question of preserving what little wildlife remains with the needs of humans has never seemed as tangled. Fortress conservation based solely on strict nature protection is one response to these pressures a response under attack. Recent tiger crises and tribal land rights debates have highlighted the opposition of strict preservationists to advocates of people's rights. Meanwhile fresh work in sociology and biology and innovative interventions show new ways forward that do not neatly fit existing paradigms. The book moves from generalities to specifics from ideal models to working approaches that seek to secure India's biodiversity by fashioning practical responses based on new often unexpected partnerships. A lucid introduction outlines the conservation situation in India the essays that follow illustrate various facets of it. Each essay is deeply grounded in the field the authors explore whether and how far animal and human needs can be reconciled. Making Conservation work articulates a new urgent discourse on conservation. It is a volume that looks ahead with cautious hope. For all who want to understand the conservation debate today this is an indispensable book. 298 pp.…
