Mahavidyalaya, Kavathe Mahankal, Dist. -Sangli. (MS), India 416405 Abstract: Diversity of spiders from Zolambi region of Chandoli National Park in Western Ghats is studied for the first time. A total of 90 species belonging to 55 genera and 19 families are recorded from the study area during 2011-2013 with a dominance of Araneid, Salticid and Lycosid spiders. Key words: Spider diversity, Western Ghats I. Introduction Spiders comprise one of the largest orders of animals. The spider fauna of India has never been studied in its entirety despite of contributions by many arachnologists since Stoliczka (1869). The pioneering contribution on the taxonomy of Indian spiders is that of European arachnologist Stoliczka (1869). Review of available literature reveals that the earliest contribution by Blackwall (1867); Karsch (1873); Simon (1887); Thorell (1895) and Pocock (1900) were the pioneer workers of Indian spiders. They described many species from India. Tikader (1980, 1982), Tikader, described spiders from India. Tikader (1980) compiled a book on Thomisidae spiders of India, comprising two subfamilies, 25 genera and 115 species. Pocock (1900) and Tikader (1980, 1987) made major contributions to the Indian Arachnology, have high lightened spider studies to the notice of other researcher. Tikader (1987) also published the first comprehensive list of Indian spiders, which included 1067 species belonging to 249 genera in 43 families.

  • COVID 19 RESPONSE by SOPPECOM Status Report: Two
    COVID 19 RESPONSE BY SOPPECOM Status Report: Two 6 June, 2020 Society for Promoting Partipative Ecosystem Management (SOPPECOM), Pune Email: [email protected]; Website: https://www.soppecom.org Introduction COVID 19 pandemic and the extended lockdowns has left millions of people especially the poorer sections of the society, including the migrant labourers to face some extremely difficult situations. The unplanned and improperly executed lockdowns are leading to loss of life and livelihoods. There are a number of organizations and institutions that are doing COVID 19 relief work to help out different communities in coping up with the current difficult times. SOPPECOM also through its COVID19 response programme has been doing relief work for the past couple of months. Our COVID 19 response has been spaced out in the three phases. In Phase one we provided dry ration and essentials like soap and detergents to the most needy and vulnerable communities. In Phase Two, we would provide some minimum support to most needy families to buy seeds and other inputs so that they can partially meet the costs of the land preparation for the Kharif sowing in time. Phase Three, is a long term engagement and effort would be to work with social activists in the area of awareness building and also improving their capacities to engage with such incidents/events/disasters in the future. Phase One began in the first week of April. The first status report was published and circulated in the last week of April (http://www.soppecom.org/pdf/Status-report-COVID19-response-by-SOPPECOM- 25April2020.pdf).

COVID 19 Response: SOPPECOM’s approach and plan Maharashtra is the worst affected state due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The nationwide lockdown imposed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 has severely impacted the lives of the poorer sections of the state consisting of daily wage labourers, construction site labourers, farm labourers, rickshaw drivers, brick kiln workers, domestic helps, deserted/ single/ widowed/ divorced women labourers, artisans, sex workers, labourers at stone crushing units, nomadic tribes and adivasis. The condition of these social sections is particularly precarious especially in small towns like the taluka headquarters where no safety net exists for them.
