Roughly 40% of these could be endemic. Such a magnitude of biodiversity, and the array of threats faced by the various components of biodiversity have together ranked the Western Ghats amongst the 25 biodiversity hot-spots in the world. The Western Ghats have had a nearly 50 million year history. The past 12,000-15,000 years have witnessed the gradual entry of human beings into this ecoregion leading to a lot of changes in the magnitude and distribution of biodiversity. Whatever patterns of biodiversity distribution that are apparent today in the Western Ghats have had one or another form of human influences. This needs to be borne in mind while conservation strategies are being outlined. Although the Western Ghats represent the tropical rainforest biome, there is a considerable amount of seasonal variation from the north to south. Generally, there are 5-8 dry months in the northern half of the Western Ghats as against the nearly 10 months of rainfall in the south. Further, the longer dry season in the north, especially in northern Karnataka, Goa and Maharashtra (the Sahyadri Ghats), has rendered the rainforests in this region more fragile than that in the south. Recent human impacts have been reflected rather heavily in the northern forests than in the southern forests. Human interferences throughout the Western Ghats have modified the once continuous tropical rainforests into a heterogeneous mosaic of evergreen, semi-evergreen and moist deciduous formations. The possibility that many of the rainforest species of plants and animals that are restricted in range to the southern Western Ghats were once present in the north as well is very strong. Despite all changes that the ecoregion has undergone, the Western Ghats are still a ‘nature monument’ that has sustained an exceptionally high magnitude of biodiversity and provided immense ecosystem services providing clean air and water. The Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan that has been outlined for the ecoregion has therefore kept the biodiversity wealth and the long years of ecosystem services that have been provided by the hills and forests of the Western Ghats in main focus. The Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan has been structured such that in the first section it reflects both the magnitude and distribution of biodiversity as apparent today 4 highlighting the major reasons for the loss of biodiversity and possible means to mitigate the losses. The second section outlines the process adopted, listing the various recommendations made by the 200 or so participants (without any prejudice), the names and addresses of the contributors and appendices of species lists. Issues that emerged repeatedly throughout the process of preparation of the draft - through brainstorming and peer review, have been consolidated into the Strategy and Action Plan. It is hoped that the Strategy and Action Plan thus prepared is an honest representation of both scientific and public perceptions of the problems and prospects of biodiversity conservation in the Western Ghats ecoregion that can be meaningfully integrated with the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan for India. 5 1.0 Executive Summary 1.1 Introduction In 1999, the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, prepared a National Policy and Macrolevel Action Strategy for Biodiversity through a consultative process. The document was a macro-level statement of policies, gaps and strategies needed for conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity. It was however felt necessary to prepare detailed action plans at sub-state, state, regional and national levels based on this framework document. Towards this end, the Ministry has accessed funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) for preparing the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP). The NBSAP project envisages the assessment and stock taking of biodiversity-related information at various levels, including distribution of endemic and endangered species and site-specific threats and pressures. Key features of this project include emphasis on gender sensitive decentralised planning, and the use of interdisciplinary working groups to involve all sectors concerned with biodiversity conservation. Detailed action plans (at sub-state, state, and regional levels) so prepared will be consolidated to develop the national level action plan. Government agencies, non-governmental groups and village communities are already contributing

  • Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview
    Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview Tamil Nadu is bordered by Pondicherry, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Sri Lanka, which has a significant Tamil minority, lies off the southeast coast. Tamil Nadu, with its traceable history of continuous human habitation since pre-historic times has cultural traditions amongst the oldest in the world. Colonised by the East India Company, Tamil Nadu was eventually incorporated into the Madras Presidency. After the independence of India, the state of Tamil Nadu was created in 1969 based on linguistic boundaries. The politics of Tamil Nadu has been dominated by DMK and AIADMK, which are the products of the Dravidian movement that demanded concessions for the 'Dravidian' population of Tamil Nadu. Lying on a low plain along the southeastern coast of the Indian peninsula, Tamil Nadu is bounded by the Eastern Ghats in the north and Nilgiri, Anai Malai hills and Palakkad (Palghat Gap) on the west. The state has large fertile areas along the Coromandel coast, the Palk strait, and the Gulf of Mannar. The fertile plains of Tamil Nadu are fed by rivers such as Kaveri, Palar and Vaigai and by the northeast monsoon. Traditionally an agricultural state, Tamil Nadu is a leading producer of agricultural products. Tribal Population As per 2001 census, out of the total state population of 62,405,679, the population of Scheduled Castes is 11,857,504 and that of Scheduled Tribes is 651,321. This constitutes 19% and 1.04% of the total population respectively.1 Further, the literacy level of the Adi Dravidar is only 63.19% and that of Tribal is 41.53%.

Swamps represent a relatively understudied ecosystem in many regions, which contrasts markedly with the research attention which other wetlands and Mangrove ecosystems have received. In the upper Nilgiris of southern India, montane swamps are restricted to geographic areas with flat surfaces and bounded by different edge transition vegetation types including grasslands and shola forests. Our study examined whether species richness, endemism, edge and the composition of swamp interior communities have a significant relationship with swamp area. Using species-area curves we continued sampling for species in each swamp until species richness reached the asympote within that swamp.

Email: Abstract: Distribution of butterfly species along the latitudinal and habitat gradients of the Western Ghats was studied. The Western Ghats was divided into 14 latitude zones and the species diversity in each latitude zone, along with habitats of their occurrence, were studied using the data from literature survey for the entire Western Ghats as well as data from personal observations in the areas between 14°N to 20°N latitudes. Out of 334 species recorded from the Western Ghats, 58 species were found in all latitudinal zones, while 5 species were reported in only one latitudinal zone. Further, southern Western Ghats consisted of more number of species and more number of genera as compared to northern Western Ghats. Latitudinal zones between 10°N to 12°N had most of the Western Ghats endemic species. Habitat wise distribution of species revealed three significant clusters grossly separated by the level of human disturbance. Evergreen forest habitats supported maximum number of species endemic to the Western Ghats.

  • First Steps Towards a Floral Structural Characterization of the Major Rosid Subclades
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2006 First steps towards a floral structural characterization of the major rosid subclades Endress, P K ; Matthews, M L Abstract: A survey of our own comparative studies on several larger clades of rosids and over 1400 original publications on rosid flowers shows that floral structural features support to various degrees the supraordinal relationships in rosids proposed by molecular phylogenetic studies. However, as many apparent relationships are not yet well resolved, the structural support also remains tentative. Some of the features that turned out to be of interest in the present study had not previously been considered in earlier supraordinal studies. The strongest floral structural support is for malvids (Brassicales, Malvales, Sapindales), which reflects the strong support of phylogenetic analyses. Somewhat less structurally supported are the COM (Celastrales, Oxalidales, Malpighiales) and the nitrogen-fixing (Cucurbitales, Fagales, Fabales, Rosales) clades of fabids, which are both also only weakly supported in phylogenetic analyses. The sister pairs, Cucurbitales plus Fagales, and Malvales plus Sapindales, are structurally only weakly supported, and for the entire fabids there is no clear support by the present floral structural data. However, an additional grouping, the COM clade plus malvids, shares some interesting features but does not appear as a clade in phylogenetic analyses. Thus it appears that the deepest split within eurosids- that between fabids and malvids - in molecular phylogenetic analyses (however weakly supported) is not matched by the present structural data. Features of ovules including thickness of integuments, thickness of nucellus, and degree of ovular curvature, appear to be especially interesting for higher level relationships and should be further explored.
