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.
