Biodiversity conservation and sustainable use of natural resources
has remained one of the key challenges for development agencies and
concerned stakeholders for decades together. The huge threat of
climate change has only added to this complexity. In this context,
the present book Biodiversity, Community, and Climate Change is
designed to help in guiding the various principles of biodiversity
conservation, effects of climate change and role of communities at
various levels and landscapes. A total of 19 chapters are covered
in this book and they encompass a wide range of topics including
tools of biodiversity assessment ranging from conventional
ecological and social survey methods to the use of latest
technology such as Geographical Information System (GIS) and remote
sensing. It includes: a description of biodiversity conservation
with focus on the status of biodiversity from lower to higher flora
and fauna; an assessment of evaluation of impacts of allelopathic
compounds on growth of native plant species; significant emphasis
on the usefulness of geospatial techniques for monitoring urban
ecosystem and biodiversity; specific focus on community,
livelihood, and management of biodiversity; and an analysis of
participatory conservation and forest management case studies to
further strengthen conservation approaches. It focuses on the vital
importance of community forestry, agriculture sector and
biodiversity conservation in addressing the threats of climate
change.
