    Abbeville Press Inc.U.S. Wonders Of The Indian Wilderness by Erach Bharucha

    The veneration of nature has always been an integral part of Indian culture but the countrys wilderness is rapidly disappearing and only small fragments of it now remain. In the face of this ecological threat Wonders of the Indian Wilderness provides a lavish celebration of the unique natural treasure that belongs to India and a call to protect and preserve it in the decades to come. Over 800 pages in scope the book devotes its first half to exploring The Nature of Biodiversity in India illustrating the incredible natural abundance of one of the twelve acknowledged mega-diversity nations of the world. Author Erach Bharucha describes the plant and animal species of India and the varied ecosystems of the country confronting the urgent need to conserve biodiversity - a vital resource with immense economic potential-in the process.Among the hundreds of illustrations are a dazzling foldout review of Earths geological and evolutionary history and an eight-page extravaganza on Indias rich floral heritage.The second half of the volume focuses on National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries of India recounting the distinctive ecosystems and species the author has encountered in his travels through over eighty of these areas - as well as the sobering changes he has witnessed in them over the years. Featuring more than 2000 stunning images Wonders of the Indian Wilderness is not only an indispensable guide for environmentalists educators policy-makers and eco-tourists but also an outstanding visual feast for the connoisseur. It is the most comprehensive available overview of the diversity and sheer beauty of life in the Indian wilderness.show more
