Kapoor, Tahmina Shafiq, R. Dayal, Shweta Bhardwaj, Jamal A. Khan"Build partnerships for biodiversity conservation Constitute ""PA Management Committees"" to strengthen PA-people relationships. Local communities can be involved in management and decision-making processes of PAs, and also for developing an understanding about the value of such an exercise. The PA managers can act as member secretaries of such committees."Item Major Strategies(Authors Press, New Delhi, 2016) Azra Musavi, Jamal A. Khan, R.K. Sinha, Salim Javed, Sant Prakash, M.

Dayal, Shweta BhardwajTo develop improved relations between the PA managers and the local people in the Gangetic Plains. Develop better partnership between people and wildlife areas. Effort should be made to maintain the integrity and naturalness of terai grasslands and also to promote natural regeneration in forests.Item GAP Analysis(Authors Press, New Delhi, 2016) Orus Ilyas, R.K. Sinha, Salim Javed, Sant Prakash, M. Shah Hussain, M.A. Khalid, Aisha Sultana, Ather A. Khan, A.G. Ponniah, D. Kapoor, Tahmina Shafiq, R. Dayal, Shweta Bhardwaj,Jamal A. Khan"Limited information is available on current status of flora and fauna of each PA and other ecosystems. Except for Dudhwa tiger reserve, Patna Bird Sanctuary, Hastinapur Wildlife sanctuary, proper documentation of biodiversity values of other protected areas needs to be done. Status of conflicts between PAs and people dependent on them is less documented."Item Ongoing Biodiversity Related Initiatives(Authors Press, New Delhi, 2016) Jamal A. Khan, R.K. Sinha, Salim Javed, Sant Prakash, M. Shah Hussain, M.A. Khalid, Aisha Sultana, Ather A. Khan, A.G. Ponniah, Orus Ilyas, D. Kapoor, Tahmina Shafiq, R. Dayal, Shweta BhardwajIndia's forests have suffered serious depletion over the years, in terms of their growing stock, forest cover, creaming out of important timber species and biodiversity, mainly because of commercial over exploitation of the forests and the grinding poverty of forest dwellers. The direct dependence of forest dwellers on the forests is most evident in meeting their survival and subsistence needs e.g. collection of fuel wood, fodder, non-wood forest products, small timber etc. But unfortunately substantial number of them have been caught in the vicious circle of poverty that forces them to overexploit the nearby forests, causing serious depletion of the resource. In the process they have to sacrifice the long-term sustainability of meeting their survival and subsistence needs and their livelihood.Item Major Actor and their Current Role in Biodiversity Coservation(Authors Press, New Delhi, 2016) Jamal A. Khan, R.K. Sinha, Salim Javed, Sant Prakash, M. Shah Hussain, M.A. Khalid, Aisha Sultana, Ather A. Khan, A.G. Ponniah, Orus Ilyas, D. Kapoor, Tahmina Shafiq, R. Dayal, Shweta BhardwajAmong government agencies with decision making capabilities, the idea and perception of biodiversity conservation varies greatly. At the national level the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change (MOEF & CC) being the lead agency understands the value and merit in protecting areas for biodiversity conservation. Unfortunately however the MOEF & CC for many years was caught in the quagmire of "Charismatic Megafauna Syndrome" limited to glamorous mammals such as Tigers and Rhinos. This was to the extent that even call for the launch of a "Project Bustard" on the lines of Project Tiger and Project Elephant has not been given due consideration. Till a few years back MOEF was non-committal on key programmes on other taxa. For example even a demonstration workshop on satellite telemetry for birds (Javed et al. 2001) took nearly 10 years to get a green light. Fortunately in the last few years the MOEF & CC has been more forthcoming and supportive of holistic studies on various elements of biodiversity.Item Problem Relating to Biodiversity(Authors Press, New Delhi, 2016) Jamal A. Khan, R.K. Sinha, Salim Javed, Sant Prakash, M. Shah Hussain, M.A. Khalid, Aisha Sultana, Ather A. Khan, A.G. Ponniah, Orus Ilyas, D. Kapoor, Tahmina Shafiq, R. Dayal, Shweta BhardwajMany cottage industries in the rural areas wholly depend on forest produce. Some of these like rope (baan) making, basket making, cane chairs (moondha) making and dona (country cups, plates and bowls made of leaves) obtain the raw material from the wild. Saccharum ravennae (L.) L. leaves are used in baan making while Saccharum spontaneum L. culms are used to make moondhas. Branches and canes of a good number of plant species are used in basket making. Plants used for this purpose include Bauhinia racemosa Lamk., Butea monosperma (Lamk.) Taub. Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp., Careya arborea Roxb, Crotalaria juncea L., Dendrocalamus strictus (Roxb.) Nees, Eulaliopsis binata (Retz.) Hubb., Hardwickia binata Roxb. Hibiscus sabdariffa L., Lannea coromandelica (Houtt.) Merr, Marsdenia tenacissima (Roxb.) Moon, Bauhinia integrifolia Roxb. Sida rhombifolia L. Calamus tenuis Roxb., Calotropis gigantea (L.) Dryand., Cannabis sativa L., Desmostachya bipinnata (L.) Stapf., Flemingia strobilifera R. Br., Helicteres isora L.,etc.Item Current range and status of biodiversity(Authors Press, New Delhi, 2016) Jamal A. Khan, R.K. Sinha, Salim Javed, Sant Prakash, M. Shah Hussain, Monowar Alam Khalid, Aisha Sultana, Ather A. Khan, A.G. Ponniah, Orus Ilyas, D. Kapoor, Tahmina Shafiq, R. Dayal, Shweta BhardwajWildlife management in our country has been the responsibility of foresters ever since scientific forestry commenced some 125 years ago. During the initial stages, the emphasis was on consolidation of the legal and silvicultural status of the reserved forests. A considerable proportion of forestland during this period was under individual ownership. The pressure on forestland was also less, because of low population levels of both human beings as well as cattle. In the second quarter of the 20th century, the pressure on the land increased due to the steep increase in human population, which resulted in the shrinkage of wilderness. As a sequel, some areas were declared as sanctuaries for conserving wildlife. To provide better legal status, the Indian Forest Act of 1927 was amended, and the Indian Game Act of 1935 was introduced. During the post 'Independence' era, the proprietary rights in private forests were abolished, without simultaneously transferring the authority to the 'Forest Department' for management. This resulted in the rapid loss of forests due to encroachments and grazing. Considerable amount of wilderness was also sacrificed for agriculture, irrigation, power, industrial and other developmental projectsItem Environmental Pollution and Climate Change Impacts on Human Health with Particular Reference to Brain: A Review(CRC Press / Taylor & Francis, 2017) Monowar Alam Khalid, Shahid S. M. A.The environment has a profound impact on all living beings, be it plants, animals, or humans. The physical and social environment is an important factor to shaping our lives and determining health, along with our genetic makeup and personal characteristics. A healthy environment instills confidence, safety, good health, and peace of mind, leading to a healthy growth and better contributions as individu-als toward society, communities, and their ecosystems. The environment starts impacting our brain right from the beginning of the human existence, i.e., through adequate nutrition to the fetus in the womb during pregnancy, which ensures brain stimulationItem An Appraisal of the Execution of Government Policies for the Empowerment of Indian Youth(Harsh Publications, 2019) Seema Siddiqui, Sadaf KhanItem Agriculture Production and Climate Change(Discovery Publishing House, New Delhi, 2018) Monowar Alam Khalid, Pawan Kumar Bharti, Alka Chauhan
