Book Synopsis Pond Ecosystems of the Indian Sundarbans by : Sourav Das
Download or read book Pond Ecosystems of the Indian Sundarbans written by Sourav Das and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to give a holistic overview of the pond ecosystem of Indian Sundarbans. Due to climate change, the Indian Sundarbans faces several challenges. With rising sea levels, islands are disappearing and the increasing salinity in the water and soil has severely threatened the health of mangrove forests and the quality of fresh water, soil and crops. Additionally, there have been serious disturbances to hydrological parameters in the lotic as well lentic ecosystems. This book provides new insights into lentic ecosystem-oriented research in the deltaic ecosystem of GBM-I (Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna, Indian Delta). The major findings from various research works are brought together, and the gaps and future possible ways forward are outlined. The book addresses the SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 14 (Life below Water), with a focus on the ecosystem services of ponds in the Indian Sundarbans. Despite there being many studies on riverine water, ground water and mangrove ecosystems of the Indian Sundarbans, this book offers new insights into the pond ecosystem of the Indian Sundarbans. The outcomes from this book can be utilized by researchers from the inland fisheries sector, environmental managers, professionals, and those who seek to develop ways for making pond ecosystems sustainable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of the diverse aspects of climate change in South Asia. The region, home to almost 4% of the world’s population, is under serious threat from climatic disasters. The volume underscores the urgency of addressing cataclysmic events related to climate change and their ramifications on the economy, agriculture and livelihoods of the region. The book discusses the reasons causing climate change as well as highlights normative and ethical considerations involved in the battle against climate change. With case studies from India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, it explores issues such as extreme climatic events; energy use, fossil fuels, non-renewable resources and carbon dioxide emission in South Asia; internal migration and climate refugees; the ethical dilemma of sustainable development; technological advancements for extreme weather forecast; and responses to climate change in South Asia. Highlighting the need for striking a balance between developmental imperatives and environmental sustainability, the chapters also show the North-South divide in the research agenda and policies on climate change and the global politics that underlie climate policies. The volume juxtaposes a scientific analysis of factors responsible for climate change with an analysis of the human cost of climate change from the perspective of social sciences. It discusses the challenges faced by developing countries while also offering recommendations and solutions. This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of climate studies, geography, public policy and governance, sustainable development, development studies, environmental studies, political studies, international relations, political economy, economics and sociology. It will also be useful to practitioners, thinktanks, policymakers and civil society organisations working on environmental management.
Book Synopsis Climate Resilient Innovative Livelihoods in Indian Sundarban Delta by : Abhijit Mitra
Download or read book Climate Resilient Innovative Livelihoods in Indian Sundarban Delta written by Abhijit Mitra and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers several innovative alternative livelihoods based on mangrove floral resources with their respective SWOT analysis. True mangrove flora and their associates in Indian Sundarbans are noted for their wide spectrum of ecosystem services in which livelihoods of the region are one of the most important components. Many alternative mangrove-centric livelihoods are in the pipeline of startup. However, due to difficulty in marketing and lack of clarity over ownership of natural resources, the values of the mangrove-based products have not been fully realized. Natural resources of several categories in Indian Sundarbans like oysters, seaweeds, medicinal mangrove flora, vitamin-rich mangrove fruits, etc. are still lying untapped. These untapped resources have been spun with the livelihood sectors of the Sundarban people backed up with sound business models to make the venture sustainable. The carbon foot prints associated with each of these livelihoods have been studied in details and steps have been suggested for net zero carbon livelihood programmes along with their sustainability. The book provides the readers about several mangrove-based cutting-edge researches and technologies in the domain of climate resilient livelihood, which if implemented can lead to food and economic security of the region.
Book Synopsis Biodiversity Reserve by : Parimal Ray
Download or read book Biodiversity Reserve written by Parimal Ray and published by . This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has taken immense pains to high light facts how human interference associated with natural calamities are responsible in altering the morpho-ecological conditions of Sundarban delta (covering the district of 24-Parganas lying between 21 32' and 22 51' N latitude and 88 2' and 89 6' Iongitude). The growing human population followed by huge population influx during partition of Bengal into East Pakistan (1947) which later emerged as free Bangladesh (1971), most of which being agriculturist settled in various parts of Sundarbans. The growing human population demanded progressive course of reclamation, resettlement, colonization, agricultural development, construction of roads etc. The reserve forest area was gradually reclaimed to a considerable extent. Since fish culture is more paying than agriculture, people diverted their attention towards various types of fish culture. To provide adequate information, the author has divided the entire pisciculture system covered under the complex ecosystem mainly as culture and capture fishery. Various aspects covered under culture fishery are-survey of fishery impoundments in the context of culturable fresh and brackishwater areas, species cultured, average catch etc. along with ecological changes that takes place from time to time. Effect on ecosystem due to introduction of metropolitan wastes enriched with organics associated with metals from various industries is another aspect covered. In culture fishery-fresh water (both sewage fed and sewage free) low saline water (Parennial, fish-cum-paddy, paddy-cum-fish) culture medium saline water, high saline water has been grouped under culture fishery, while under capture fishery they are, fresh-low saline water, Bhagirathy-Hooghly; low saline-medium saline (Hooghly river); Medium saline (Kulti estuary) and high saline (lower zone of entire estuary of Sundarbans and tracts below Diamond Harbour where waste water disposed, pollution load, changes in the physic-chemical and biological parameters, metallic and pesticide pollution, fishing gear effort and fish production, progressive changes in the fish production fish seed resources breeding ground etc are highlighted. The author has taken immense pains to provide up-to-date information of the Sundarban delta-how culture and capture fishery has come up intensely with the passing of time and is being controlled by the Sundarban delta since long highlighting its fishery potentiality. The author has finally grouped entire monograph into four major chapters. I. Culture fishery (Fresh water and Brackish water impoundment) II. Capture fishery (Kulti estuary, Bhagirathi - Hooghly estuary), III. The Sundarban Delta. IV. Past and present of Sundarban Delta.

Book excerpt: Homelessness to Hope: Research, Policy and Practices on Global Perspectives brings together stories, observations and critical appraisals that have emerged out of the interdisciplinary studies spanning across the global North and South. It explores how diverse accounts on homelessness and homeless people are situated within the structural-institutional arrangements of the developing and developed worlds. Through its comparative framework, the book offers a broader understanding of the multiple ways in which homelessness is experienced, perceived, and addressed. The book uses cross-cutting theoretical framings (such as resilience, wellbeing, social-ecological systems, sustainability, urban planning, institutions, gender) and emerging discourses on homelessness to complement current empirical findings from around the world. It provides insights on diverse concepts, meanings, perceptions, identities, and values concerning homelessness across rural and urban settings to promote a comprehensive understanding. In doing so, the book critically addresses the limits of contemporary discussions on homelessness, eviction, and poverty. Broadly, the authors explore the causations and processes of homelessness to shed light on physical, social, ontological, territorial, and cognitive facets of homelessness at both local and regional contexts across the world. Furthermore, the book lays a strong focus on viable transitions through identifying, comparing, and advocating for inclusive, collaborative, actionable measures and policies. This volume is a useful guide to the students, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in expanding their understanding on homelessness as well as formulating effective pathways for improvements or change. - Features contributions from interdisciplinary researchers involved with ethnographic, historical and sustainability research across the plane of social sciences: sociology, human geography, history, economics, psychology, development studies, population studies, South Asian studies, and political science - Builds upon the current scholarship on homelessness, focusing on high-, medium- and low-income countries of the world, tracing out the commonalities, variabilities and interconnections within the processes and contexts of homelessness across nations - Adheres to a solution-focused approach, emphasizing collaboration among practitioners, activists, grass-roots organizations, and researchers in designing action-oriented pathways
