  • The Indian Subcontinent
    Johnsingh, A. J. T., Pandav, B., and Madhusudan, M. D. (2010). Status and Conservation of Tigers in the Indian Subcontinent. In Tigers of The World, Second Edition: 315-330: Elsevier Inc. Keywords: 4IN/baseline information/conservation/landscape/Panthera tigris/population size/range/status/tiger Abstract: Today, confined to less than 7% of their original range, tigers are going through one of the worst crises in their evolutionary history. The Indian subcontinent, which contains most of the world's wild tigers, represents only 11% of the world's tiger habitat. We estimate that there may be less than 1,600 tigers in the whole of the Indian subcontinent and the realistic maximum number of tigers that could be supported with its current habitat would be around 3,700. Tiger conservation in the Indian subcontinent faces a range of serious and complex threats, but we believe that most of these issues are still possible to address; India showed that this was possible in the 1970s when the survival of the tiger in the country also looked bleak. Here, we summarize some of the most important issues and suggest some means by which these may be addressed to secure the future of this majestic big cat.

The Group was established in 197 1. The CGIAR centers are part of a global agricultural research system which endeavor to apply international scientific capacity to solution of the problems of the world’s disadyantaged people. CIFOR CIFOR was established under the CGIAR system in response to global concerns about the social, environmental and ec&omic consequences of loss and degradation of. forests. It operates, through a series of highly decentralized partnerships with key institutions and/or individuals throughout the developing and industrialized worlds. The nature and duration of the& partnerships are determined by the specific research problems b&g addressed. This research agenda is under constant review and is subject to change as the partners recognize new opportunities and problems. FOREWORD CIFOR is very pleased that one of our first Occasional Papers is India’s Forest Management and Ecological revival. It is one output of a very comprehensive and ambitious program which included a year of research, eighteen commissioned papers, and a workshop in New Delhi.

  • Liberal Capitalism As a Collective Action Problem
    Liberal Capitalism as a Collective Action Problem Dean Curran [email protected] Paper prepared for the Annual Canadian Political Science Association Meeting Wilfred Laurier, Waterloo, Ontario May 18, 2011 Preliminary Draft Please do not cite without permission In their recent groundbreaking work, The Spirit Level Wilkinson and Pickett (2010) argue that advanced economies have now reached a threshold where economic growth is no longer an effective means of advancing the welfare of its citizens. Instead, for these nations, the key economic criterion for the generation of welfare is the distribution, not the production, of wealth (Wilkinson and Pickett, 2010: 5-10). Such views resonate with those of John Stuart Mill, who argued, contrary to the other liberal political economists, that human welfare would greatly benefit from reaching the end of economic growth. For Mill, it was only in this temporary stage of perpetual economic growth that “the energies of mankind should be kept in employment by the struggle for riches” (Mill, 1987: 748-9). In an economy without growth, the permanent maintenance of an equitable distribution of wealth would ensure that no one ‘has any reason to fear being thrust back by the efforts of others to push themselves forward’ and thus leave people scope to focus their attention and activity upon not merely instrumental activities (Mill, 1987: 748-9). This paper attempts to provide further support for these themes by delineating an alternative model of capitalism that illuminates how, without limits on inequalities, economic growth can lead to almost everyone in a given society being worse off. The particular target of this paper is an economic system in which the primary mechanism for the distribution of goods and services, wealth and labour is through competitive markets – which may be described as ‘liberal capitalism’ for the purposes of this paper (Coates, 2000: 9-10; cf.

  • Wildlife Conservation Strategies and Management in India: an Overview
    Wildlife Conservation Strategies and Management in India: An Overview SWARNDEEP S. HUNDAL Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, 141 004, India, email [email protected] Key Words: wildlife management, wildlife conservation, species recovery, blackbuck, Indian antelope, Antilope cervicapra, royal Bengal tiger, Panthera tigris tigris, gangetic gharial, Gavialis gangeticus, great Indian bustard, Ardeotis nigriceps, India Introduction Wildlife resources constitute a vital link in the survival of the human species and have been a subject of much fascination, interest, and research all over the world. Today, when wildlife habitats are under severe pressure and a large number of species of wild fauna have become endangered, the effective conservation of wild animals is of great significance. Because every one of us depends on plants and animals for all vital components of our welfare, it is more than a matter of convenience that they continue to exist; it is a matter of life and death. Being living units of the ecosystem, plants and animals contribute to human welfare by providing • material benefit to human life; • knowledge about genetic resources and their preservation; and • significant contributions to the enjoyment of life (e.g., recreation). Human society depends on genetic resources for virtually all of its food; nearly half of its medicines; much of its clothing; in some regions, all of its fuel and building materials; and part of its mental and spiritual welfare. Considering the way we are galloping ahead, oblivious of what legacy we plan to leave for future generations, the future does not seem too bright. Statisticians have projected that by 2020, the human population will have increased by more than half, and the arable fertile land and tropical forests will be less than half of what they are today.

  • 3Rd Stocktaking Conference Report
    REPORT of the 3rd StockTaking Conference on Tiger Conference Executive Summary The 3rd Stocktaking Conference on tiger conservation was held on 28-29 January 2019, at the SCOPE Complex, New Delhi. This was organized by the Global Tiger Forum, as an implementing arm of the Global Tiger Initiative Council (GTIC), in collaboration with the National Tiger Conservation Authority (Government of India), Wildlife Conservation Trust (WCT), Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) and WWF. The conference is the latest collective step in the process that began at the 2010 St Petersburg Tiger Summit - where 13 tiger-range governments committed to Tx2 - an ambitious goal to double the global wild tiger population by 2022. The two-day conference included country updates on the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of Tiger Range Country specific National Tiger Recovery Program (NTRP), and technical presentations on themes such as protection, habitat/ prey/ tiger recovery, management of human wildlife interface issues, smart green infrastructure, habitat, field management, conservation finance and partnerships. Apart from this, there were four Side Events, viz. reviewing of the Sub continental level Tiger estimation for India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal. Maximizing synergies of partnerships for tiger conservation, combating wildlife trafficking issues and a discussion on contours of strategy for conventions (CITES). Tiger-range governments agreed on the urgent need to address critical gaps across the tiger range through a set of recommendations. INDEX S.No. Contents
