    Equal inclusion of Indigenous Women in Biodiversity Conservation Efforts in India: A Critique
    (Book Rivers, 2023) Nidhi Singh Arora
    Even though there is a gap between the rights guaranteed by the law and how they are exercised for all women. For indigenous women the gap is even wider due to the numerous forms of discrimination based on their gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic situation, as well as from within their own communities and from outside rural and urban areas. The loss of traditional occupations, coupled with climate change and the resulting deforestation makes it more difficult for indigenous women to exercise their rights. Therefore, it is crucial to make sure that indigenous women are included, recognized legally, and actively involved in land ownership and governance at all levels. In general, the term "biodiversity" refers to the diversity of life on Earth. Indigenous Peoples are acknowledged as being crucial to achieving the goals of the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Numerous threats to our biodiversity are coming from a variety of sources. However, environmental deterioration significantly impacts girls' and women's health and quality of life. For a policy on the conservation of natural resources to be successful, women must be included in all programs and policies. The study focuses on how indigenous women can help safeguard the environment.

    Exploring Spatial Technology for In-Depth Natural Resource Management: A Comprehensive Study
    (Springer Nature, 2024) Mariya Hasnat, Ruqaiya Bano, Farhana Khatoon
    Theintegration of Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) provides extensive opportunities for monitoring and overseeing natural resources with capabilities spanning multi-temporal, multi-spectral, and multi spatial resolutions. There is an immediate imperative to comprehend the specialized functionalities of a continuously expanding range of image sources and analytical techniques, particularly for those involved in natural resource management. This comprehensive study compiles diverse applications of remote sensing and GIS tools relevant to the management of natural resources, including agriculture, water, forests, soil, and natural hazards. The major applications of remote sensing and GIS in natural resource management are resource management, change detection, impact assessment, suitability analysis, biodiversity, and forest management, etc.The collaborative effort is essential for the effective use and application of remote sensing techniques for monitoring and assessment of natural resource management. Remote Sensing (RS) proves to be an efficient instrument for monitoring spatial and temporal changes in the landscape, by facilitating land use and land cover mapping. When integrated with on-site ecosystem assessments and other relevant biophysical and socio-economic data, the resulting land cover and land use maps offer crucial insights. By integrating and modifying spatial data in a Geographic Information System (GIS), it is possible to carry out analyses that improve understanding of the dynamics and processes associated with land use changes"
