description
|
Global Mangrove Forests have been receiving attention for quite sometime of the ecologists, environmentalists, zoologist, proto-zoologists and the marine biologists. Though the tropical coastal areas of the continents of Africa and America have small patches of Mangrove Forests, significantly large areas occur in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Bangladesh and in India.
Interestingly, the largest chunks of Mangrove Forests occur in the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta in Bangladesh and India. Voluminous works are being done on aquaculture, on economic use of the Mangroves by exploitation of the forests which sustain one of the richest ecosystem of the world; even the zoologists contributed significantly on invertebrate fauna and vertebrate fish but the bioecological study of the mammalian, avifaunal, insect and reptilian population in the mangroves, in relation to man remain the unique contribution of the present authors Sarvashree A. B. Chaudhuri and Kalyan Chakrabarti.
The authors have highlighted various aspects of bio-ecology and breeding biology of Sunderbans Tiger, Deer, Honeybee, Crocodile, Fish and Bird. They have also brought out in clear language the behavioural pattern of the maneater and the richness of the entire mangrove ecosystem. Thrilling facts on the resident animals in relation to human behaviour in the unique ecosystem of Sundarbans have been presented in lucid style. This book will be of immense interest not only to the scientists and biologists but also to the tourists, story tellers and students at the university and college level.
