The average Above Ground Biomass (AGB) followed the order Daddha (15.34 Kg m-2) > Chepti (11.23 Kg m-2) in Sandy soil. In case of Sandy loam soil, the AGB followed a reverse order i.e., Chepti (17.54 Kg m-2) > Daddha (16.72 Kg m-2). The average Below Ground Biomass (BGB) followed the order Daddha (5.05 Kg m-2) > Chepti (2.22 Kg m-2) in sandy soil. In case of Sandy loam soil, the average BGB followed the order Daddha (6.25 Kg m-2) > Chepti (3.46 Kg m-2). The average Above Ground Carbon (AGC) followed the sequence Daddha (7.18 Kg m-2) > Chepti (5.51 Kg m-2) in Sandy soil and Chepti (8.69 Kg m-2) > Daddha (8.04 Kg m-2) in Sandy loam soil. The average Below Ground Carbon (BGC) in Daddha and Chepti were 2.23 Kg m-2 and 1.05 Kg m-2 respectively in Sandy soil.

This programme must be transparent and holistic, and incorporate any new methods available through ongoing research, addressing an array of parameters related to the survival of the species by using the blend of the best available science and technology. In this current census of rhinos in West Bengal the tried and tested method of “Total Count” has been adopted. Simultaneously, methods of genetic analysis and identifying individual DNA is also being introduced. The whole exercise has been conducted with active participation of NGOs and volunteers to ensure transparency.

Foraging by Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) was studied using the lead animal technique at Buxa Tiger Reserve, Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary and Gorumara National Park in West Bengal, India. Feeding trials were done in three broad habitat types—Dense-mixed, Open-mixed and Grassland. In total, 3150 bite counts and 67 consumed plant species consisting of 17 grasses, 6 herbs, 13 shrubs, 14 climbers and 17 trees, were recorded. Browse species bites formed 56% of the total sample and 89 %, 57%, and 24 % of the samples in dense-mixed, open-mixed and grassland, respectively. Crude protein in common wild grasses such as Saccharum spontaneum and S. arundinaceum was lower than cultivated crops like Eleucine corocana. Introduction The main study areas were the Buxa Tiger Reserve, Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary and Foraging is a major factor in animal movement Gorumara National Park.

  • Study on Avifaunal Diversity from Three Different Regions of North Bengal, India
    Asian Journal of Conservation Biology, December 2012. Vol. 1 No. 2, pp. 120 -129 AJCB: FP0015 ISSN 2278-7666 ©TCRP 2012 Study on avifaunal diversity from three different regions of North Bengal, India Utpal Singha Roy1*, Purbasha Banerjee2 and S. K. Mukhopadhyay3 1 Department of Zoology, Durgapur Government College, JN Avenue, Durgapur – 713214, West Bengal, India 2 Department of Conservation Biology, Durgapur Government College, JN Avenue, Durgapur – 713214, West Bengal, India 3 Department of Zoology, Hooghly Mohsin College, Chinsurah – 712101, West Bengal, India (Accepted November 15, 2012) ABSTRACT A rapid avifaunal diversity assessment was carried out at three different locations of north Bengal viz. Gorumara National Park (GNP), Buxa Tiger Reserve (BTR) (Jayanti/Jainty range) and Rasik Beel Wetland Complex (RBWC) during 2nd No- vember and 14th November 2008. A total of 117 bird species belonging to 42 families were recorded during the present short span study. The highest bird diversity was recorded in GNP with 87 bird species, followed by RBWC (75) and BTR (68). The transition zones between GNP and BTR, BTR and RBWC and GNP and RBWC were represented by 51, 41 and 57 common bird species, respectively. A total of 36 bird species were recorded in all three study sites. This diverse distribution of bird species was reflected in the study of diversity indices where the highest Shannon–Wiener diversity index score of 3.86 was recorded from GNP followed by RBWC (3.64) and BTR (2.84). The similar trend was also observed for Simpson’s Dominance Index, Pielou’s Evenness Index and Margalef’s Richness Index.

    Chapter 2 STUDY AREA . STUDY AREA An important inclusion in the National Parks family, Gorumara National Park (GNP) is famous for its prestigious inhabitant one-horned great Indian Rhino. This is one of the last few small pockets in Eastern India harboring natural population of Rhinoceros unicornis L., along with other mega and majestic herbivores like Indian Elephant, Gaur or Indian Bison and is covered with rich vegetation. GNP had been a wild land sanctuary (Vide notification no. 5181-FOR, date: 02.08.1949) and a reserved forest since 1895 (notification no. 3147- FOR, date: 2nd July, 1895 with corrections later on), under the Indian forest act (VII of 1878). Formerly, an area of 2129 acre was first declared as Gorumara Wild Life Sanctuary (GWLS) vide Gov. Notification no. 5181-For, date: 02.08.1949. Subsequently, the notification under the Wildlife (protection) act, 1972, [vide no. 5400- For, date: 24th June, 1976] covering a total area of 8.62 sq km declaring the area as GWLS. In 1994, with Govt. notification no. 319_ For, dated 31st January, 1994 was issued with the intention of declaring the area as GNP, with major extension of the existing GWLS and now it covered a total area of 79.99 sq km. On 21st November, 1995, following a reorganization of the forest directorate of West Bengal, the total area of the GNP, curved out of the Jalpaiguri forest division was handed over to the Wild Life Division – II under the Conservator of Forest, Wild Life Circle [vide GOV. of West Bengal notification no. 4983- For, date 25th September, 1995].
