  • Past records and current distribution of seabirds at Larsemann Hills and Schirmacher Oasis, east Antarctica

    Open AccessAnant Pande, Samrat Mondol et al.ARTICLEPolar Record2020References: 31

    Seabird populations in Antarctica serve as indicators to assess the impacts of global environmental change. Ecological data on seabirds in Antarctica are scarce due to limited knowledge on their distribution and abundance in most parts of the continent. In this study, we investigated the status of seabird species around the Indian research stations Bharati at Larsemann Hills, Prydz bay and Maitri at Schirmacher Oasis, central Dronning Maud Land l…

  • Terrestrial protected areas and managed reaches conserve threatened freshwater fish in Uttarakhand, India

    Open AccessNishikant Gupta, K Sivakumar et al.ARTICLEPARKS2015

    Terrestrial protected areas and river reaches managed by local stakeholders can act as management tools for biodiversity conservation. These areas have the potential to safeguard fish species from stressors such as over-fishing, habitat degradation and fragmentation, and pollution. To test this idea, we conducted an evaluation of the potential for managed and unmanaged river reaches, to conserve threatened freshwater fish species. The evaluation …

  • The ‘tiger of I ndian rivers’

    Open AccessNishikant Gupta, K Sivakumar et al.ARTICLEArea2014Cited by: 4References: 31

    Promoting a fish as a flagship species (i.e. a charismatic animal that promotes awareness) is a management tool to improve the effectiveness of conservation measures. However, to be successful this approach requires strong stakeholder support. To investigate the feasibility of the flagship species approach and degree of stakeholder support in India, semi‐structured interviews were conducted with forest managers, anglers and village members in U t…

  • A draft code of practice for research and monitoring in protected areas

    Open AccessMarc Hockings, William Adams et al.ARTICLEPARKS2013

    Protected areas are favoured sites for ecological research and monitoring and responsible, well-managed research can help to improve management effectiveness and enhance conservation outcomes. Many countries have formalized processes for approving and monitoring research within their protected area systems. There are already a number of codes addressing ethical and social issues with respect to research in protected areas, sacred natural sites an…

  • Improving access to biodiversity data for, and from, EIAs – a data publishing framework built to global standards

    Open AccessNicholas King, Asha Rajvanshi et al.ARTICLEImpact Assessment and Project…2012

    Biodiversity information obtained during environmental impact assessments (EIAs) is rarely accessible for other uses following the completion of the EIA. Such data need to be made readily accessible; adding them to publicly accessible national datasets is important if biodiversity science, conservation and future decisions based on environmental assessment are to benefit from new biodiversity data and improved biodiversity data coverage. An ‘EIA …

  • Teachers' Knowledge of and Attitude Toward Wildlife and Conservation

    Open AccessShivani Barthwal, Shivani Chandola Barthwal et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2012

    Environmental education (EE) has recently been included in school curricula in India to improve understanding of ecosystems, their functions, and the effect of human actions on them. The need for EE is more pronounced in Ladakh, in the Indian Trans-Himalaya, where recent development activities pose challenges for the fragile mountain ecosystem and for traditional livelihoods. Inclusion of EE in school curricula by the Jammu & Kashmir State Educat…
