This report provides a comprehensive management effectiveness evaluation of the Protected Areas Network in India. It also includes the assessment criteria for management effectiveness evaluation (MEE) of PA network in India - site level.
This report describes the current and recent past geographical range of the tiger. It provides spatial data on tiger distribution at the tehsil level and its associated landscape characterization; a precursor for land use planning incorporating conservation concerns and priorities.
The formulation of a practical conservation policy will involve a fuller consideration of human needs also. Conservation plans need to be so developed that they minimize restriction on the people of area.
Andaman and Nicobar Islands are one of the most diverse but fragile Island landscapes where developmental activities have caused serious implications, resulting in loss of habitat and subsequent extinction of species.
Biodiversity characterisation at landcape level was carried out using Indian remote sensing satellite data in North Eastern region of India. This study presents the results of the project undertaken to build a national database on biodiversity at landscape level. This is important in order to check the alarming biodiversity loss currently taking place in this part of the country.
Biodiversity characterisation at landscape level has been carried out using Indian remote sensing satellite data in Western himalayas of India. This study presents the results of the project undertaken to build national database on biodiversity at landscape level.
Biodiversity characterisation at landscape level has been carried out using Indian remote sensing satellite data in Western Ghats of India. This study presents the results of the project undertaken to build national database on biodiversity at landscape level.
This report is the seventh assessment of the forest cover of the country. It provides analytical information on forest plantations, protected area, joint forest management, forest cover in mining areas of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa, shifting cultivation in the North Eastern region. It also provides an overview of the forest resources in India, with special emphasis on forest cover.
Effect of anthropogenic disturbance on habitat occupancy by tiger prey species was studied in Panna National Park (PNP), Madhya Pradesh. The study was conducted between November 1998 and April 1999. Line-transect method and pellet-count technique were used to estimate prey species abundance. Abundance estimates were used as a measure for intensity of habitat use by the species.
The state of forest report 1995 is the fifth assessment of the forest cover of the country pertaining to the period 1991-93. It is for the first time that the data obtained from the Indian Remote Sensing Satellite has been used by the Forest Survey of India for this assessment.
