Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delve into thrilling tales of a budding forester as he embarks on a perilous journey through the mystical and uncharted forests of Chhattisgarh. The first two stories expose the sad and harrowing truth of human-wildlife conflict. In 'The Panther's Lair', a ferocious panther has terrorised innocent villagers of Tultuli. The people clamour that the beast be hunted down. Will our forester yield to their pressure and kill the predator and save the day, or instead put his moral duty first to protect the big cat but leave behind a long trail of human blood? In 'The Tuskers of Jashpur', a desolate village, Sajapani has been struck time and again by a rogue elephant herd. People are infuriated and already living on the edge when help from the government is lacking. As our forester attempts to fix the problem, his hands get tied by the system rife with corruption. Will justice be delivered or will mayhem and carnage follow when people decide to take the law into their own hands? In 'The Hunt for Charger', poachers belonging to the notorious and deadly Pardhi gang are on the lookout for a tiger named Charger who is the pride of Bhoramdeo Tiger Reserve. Will the forester be able to apprehend the killers on time and save the tiger or is it too late already? Read on for more such hair-raising experiences!

Book Synopsis Governing the Rainforest by : Eve Z. Bratman
Download or read book Governing the Rainforest written by Eve Z. Bratman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable development is often thought of as a product that can be obtained by following a prescribed course of interventions. Rather than conceptualizing it as a sweet spot of economic, ecological, and social balance, sustainable development is an ongoing process of embroilments requiring constant negotiation of often-competing aims. Sustainable development politics yield highly uneven results among different members of society and different geographic areas. As this book argues, such imbalances mean that sustainable development processes often prioritize economic over environmental goals, perpetuating and reinforcing economic and political inequalities. Governing the Rainforest looks at development and conservation efforts in the Brazilian Amazon, where the government and corporate interests bump up against those of environmentalists and local populations. This book asks why sustainable development continues to be such a powerful and influential idea in the region, and what impact it has had on various political and economic interests and geographic areas. In other words, as Eve Z. Bratman argues, sustainable development is a political practice in itself. This book offers detailed case study analysis, including of the creation of vast conservation corridors, the construction of one of the largest hydroelectric plants in the world, and new forms of land settlement projects. Based on a decade of Bratman's ethnographic fieldwork throughout Brazil, and particularly along the Trans-Amazonian Highway, Governing the Rainforest offers a fresh take on sustainable development within a multi-level analysis of actors, discourses, and practices.

Now they've accepted a mission deep to find a missing adventurer deep in the jungles of Myanmar. But it is not long before Cabrillo and his team realise that they have been set up. Cabrillo - betrayed, tortured and played for a fool - is angry that he's been used as a pawn in someone's deadly scheme.

Book Synopsis Jungle Adventures: From the Forests of India by : Rini Basu
Download or read book Jungle Adventures: From the Forests of India written by Rini Basu and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Jungle Adventures; From the Forests of India', as the name suggests, is an interesting book of short stories based on true jungle adventures in Indian forests. The Sunderbans National Park in India is home to the majestic Royal Bengal tiger and the high altitude Himalayan conifer forests like Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary are the favourite hunting grounds of the ferocious snow leopards. Before independence, tiger hunting was a popular sport among the British colonizers as well as the royal Indian maharajahs. Shortly after independence, the Indian government lawfully prohibited the ruthless killing of wild animals and hunting became a serious and punishable offence.Adventure in the jungle is the main theme, though there are elements of love, humour and humanity to enhance the colour of the stories. The stories will interest readers of all ages.

Book excerpt: “And then came the elephants! He half-heard, half-saw something moving. Gigantic forms lumbering by on velveteen toes, ears aquiver, trunks aloft, sensitive nostrils twitching and turning like the periscopes on a shoal of jungle submarines.” Sometimes comical, sometimes poignant, always gripping, Jungle Submarines follows the real-life adventures of Botch as he grows up with his eccentric family – Papa the stoic, Mama the passionate, Minu the thug, Anu the stubborn, and Nini the sweet – in a country and a world that is charmingly disorganized. Papa’s job takes him and the family from the swampy jungles of Bihar to the dusty deserts of Iraq, from the cool wetness of Coonoor to the hot dryness of Hyderabad; and this pageant of life teaches Botch about happiness and sadness, glory and defeat, strength and weakness, but above all about trust and family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Victor Cartwright is sent to Malaya on a business trip, he invites his sister, Isabel, to go with him. Isabel, haunted by memories of her childhood in the jungle, has always longed to return to the country where she and Victor were born. She was six years old and Victor a baby when they were evacuated back to England just hours before Malaya fell to the Japanese in 1942. But their parents were left behind, their fate never known. While Victor accepts that their parents met the same end as many others in those last days of the Empire, Isabel is sure there is more to the story. In Kuala Lumpur, on a visit to the house where they lived before the Japanese came, the house Isabel has dreamed of for so long, she begins to recall those dim and distant days. The house is full of ghosts for her, exotic and troubling, and when Victor meets with an accident there, Isabel is convinced it holds some terrible secret. She sets off alone to explore the enigma of her parents's lives, and through Oliver Bailey, an Englishman who once knew them, and an even more surprising figure from the past, she finally unravels the long hidden mysteries. Mary Morgan's The House at the Edge of the Jungle is a fascinating tale of past and present.
Download or read book Jungle Gems written by Yikai Zhang and published by Unbound Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the amateur naturalist Yikai Zhang chanced upon a box of beetle specimens collected by the insect dealer Hakamoto, he discovered among them what seemed to be evidence of a new species – a sinister-looking Carabus from Hainan Island, where the genus had never been seen before. Yikai's curiosity intensified when Max Barclay, a world-leading entomologist at London's Natural History Museum, was baffled by the entire collection. But with only this single specimen known to science, they had to gather more evidence to establish the validity of the species. Max sent Yikai on the mission of his dreams – an expedition to the jungles of Hainan in search of the elusive Carabus. On his quest, he encountered some of the most bizarre and wonderful creatures imaginable as he trekked through the island's rugged interior, battling the elements and his innermost fears. What he could never have known was that the outcome had already been written, and as the cloud of mystery cleared he was forced to accept a shocking but irrefutable truth...
Book Synopsis The Jungle School by : Butet Manurung
Download or read book The Jungle School written by Butet Manurung and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-02-24 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A People in Crisis . . . A Young Womans Adventure . . . A School for Life The Orang Rimba (People of the Forest) are nomadic tribes living in the rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia as hunter-gatherers. Today, the outside world has arrived at their doorstep. From illegal loggers chain-sawing the jungle to government-sponsored transmigrants working in palm oil plantations, the outsiders are encroaching upon the rainforest. While they have the skills needed to preserve their jungle, the Orang Rimba are ill prepared to deal with land contracts or sale of rainforest products. What can be done to help them? Butet Manurung shares the journal she kept during her first year in the jungle. She tells of her adventures with stinging bees, prowling bears, and motorbikes. Most touchingly, she describes how her relationship with the Orang Rimba develops as she transforms from an outsider to a trusted teacher within the community. Her trials and errors are familiar to anyone who has ever been a teacher, even though her students often wear loincloths and trap animals for lunch. Will learning to read and write be enough to help the Orang Rimba save their rainforest? Butet tells the story of her journey from anthropologist to educator to activist. She explains how and why she founded SOKOLA to bring literacy to indigenous people in areas too remote to access education. The work of this foundation and its adventurous volunteers is an excellent example of how a small number of individuals can effect change. The Jungle School is now a film! Directed by Riri Riza. Praise for The Jungle School The traditional wisdom of the indigenous people of Indonesia is a truth that we must preserve. At the same time, the dilemma between introducing modernity, development and education while protecting their traditional way of life is another truth. I greatly appreciate the contribution and dedication of people like Butet Manurung who provide true insights into the Orang Rimba. The Jungle School speaks volumes from actual experience, recorded not only in an anthropological way, but also in a very human and personal way. This is a book that not only makes us realize that traditional wisdom and jungles need to be preserved, but also warms the heart. - Mari Pangestu, Indonesias Minister of Tourism The Jungle School puts a human face on the results of logging and deforestation practices that directly threaten the existence of the Orang Rimba. Although the rights of the often-forgotten Rimba people are protected by our laws, their aspirations are sometimes ignored in the management of rainforests and their resources. Education for the Rimba is truly a gift for life. Butets story will change the hearts and minds of those who think otherwise. - Agus Purnomo, Special Staff to the President of the Republic of Indonesia for Climate Change The Jungle School comes at a critical moment in the development of the present civilization. It combats all the theoretical complexity of educational developments to smooth the process from literate society to knowledge society; welfare society to cultured and civilized society. Butet Manurung shows that the impossible is possible by touching the hearts and minds of the Orang Rimba, by reaching the unreachable soul of an indigenous community, by helping us to understand what it means to be human. She inspires readers and takes them on a journey of educational adventure that highlights best practices, which can also be applied in any metropolitan jungle that needs intellectual perseverance. Butet shows her intellectual courage, integrity and her sacrifices to become a hero of education. She exercises the intellectual virtues that we all need today to have a healthy mind-set in the pursuit of human rights and dignity. It is in the minds of men that the defense of peace must be constructed. (UNESCO Constitution) - Arief Rachman, Professor,

Book Synopsis Tropical Forests, International Jungle by : M. Smouts
Download or read book Tropical Forests, International Jungle written by M. Smouts and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-05-29 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marie-Claude Smouts looks at the issue of rain forest depletion and global environmental policies. Beginning with how the issue entered the world stage in the 1980s despite alarms over the issue in the 1950s, Tropical Forests, International Jungle explores the complexities of what are tropical forests, what role they play not only in environmentalism but in trade, health care, and almost every facet of natural and social life for those living there and beyond. Although for most in the developed world tropical forests have gained a status of part of our world heritage, these forests are not really part of the global commons or a global public good. Developing nations maintain control over the forests within their borders and often use the forests as they see fit. The international system for mediating the issue is a fractured group of non-governmental organizations and transnational networks, often with competing views of how to manage tropical forests. Despite this seemingly grim picture, Smouts is optimistic. A changing world view toward forest depletion is influencing countries both North and South. Although forests will be used commercially, it is a dynamic process that should maintain them far into the future.
