It is defined as of investment and insurance to a) sustain the variability among living organisms and and improve agricultural, forestry and the ecological complexes of which they are fisheries production, b) act as a buffer part, including diversity within and between against harmful environmental changes, c) species and ecosystems. Biodiversity provide raw materials for scientific and manifests at species genetic and ecosystem industrial innovations, and d) safe guard levels. Biodiversity has direct consumptive transferring biological richness to future value in food, agriculture, medicine, generations. industry, etc. It also has aesthetic and recreational value. 3.5 Biodiversity the world over is in peril because the habitats are threatened due 3.2 India is one of the 12 mega- to such development programmes as biodiversity countries of the world.

WWF-India REPORT IND Kerala State Office 2011
ANNUAL WWF-India REPORT IND Kerala State Office 2011 ANNUAL REPORT 2010 - 2011 FROM THE STATE DIRECTOR’S DESK It is indeed with great pride and joy that we put forward the Annual Report for 2010 – 11. When we look back to the passing year, we very much realize that with a small team of 6 staff, we have been able to do considerably good work in the conservation scenario of Kerala. We do not claim that we have done everything needed. We had limitation of manpower and materials. But prioritizing the various conservation needs and issues and deciding on what we can handle within our scope, we can certainly say that we have done our best in that. If one looks at the spectrum of work that we have done, it will fall in major three bands, i.e. conservation projects, environment education, policy and advocacy interventions In the last one year, we could successfully complete 2 major projects that we have been handling since the last few years, mainly ‘Design and Installation of Information Panels, Signages and Handbook for the Thiruvananthapuram Museum & Zoo Complex’ funded by the Directorate of Museum & Zoos, ‘Carbon Sequestration Capacity of Magroves of Kannur District of Kerala’ funded by Department of Science & Technology. The project linking livelihoods and conservation of Vembanad is still ongoing and it will extend to middle of the next year also. We had our hands full with regard to environment education and awareness programmes. This includes a wide range of activities including Teachers Training Workshops, Nature Clubs, Nature Education Camps, and commemoration of environmentally important days, Friday Forums, Green Gatherings and others. -

Central Zoo Authority -- List of Rec Zoos.Pmd
Central Zoo Authority and Indian Zoos: A Current Overview Sally Walker Central Zoo Authority (CZA) (estab. Feb. 1992) is now a dozen years old. The Authority exists at the pleasure of the Central Government, which has reconstituted it four times and will undoubtedly do so again in the immediate future. CZA was set up to tackle many problems, among the most important, the rampant proliferation of zoos without adequate plan or principles, or even financial backing. Many of the then ~ 350 zoos had been set up for political reasons, to satisfy the whims of a Minister or other official and left to deteriorate after the founding function. It is very easy to open a zoo compared to closing one but this task -- closing zoos that could not meet a minimum standard -- was given to the fledgling Authority This was, part of a process, also led by CZA, to provide oversight for zoo management and, after evaluation, to give technical and monetary support and time, so that the zoos could improve. In this process, which is well established today, if the zoos improve sufficiently, they are granted recognition for three years. If they do not improve within a specified time frame they are deemed "derecognised" and must be closed by their state. Only recognised zoo can operate legally in the country. As of this year there are 164 recognised zoos in the country and 90 recently derecognised zoos. Since a few years after the inception of CZA, many other zoos have been derecognised. This article is an update and overview of some of the last year's activities of Central Zoo Authority. -
SURVEY of the LITERATURE on RECENT SHELLS from the RED SEA (Second Enlarged and Revised Edition)
TRITON 24 SEPTEMBER 2011 SUPPLEMENT 1 SURVEY OF THE LITERATURE ON RECENT SHELLS FROM THE RED SEA (second enlarged and revised edition) L.J. van Gemert *) Abstract: About 2,100 references are listed in the survey. Shells are being considered here as shell-bearing mollusks of the Gastropoda, Bivalvia and Scaphopoda. And the region covered is not only the Red Sea, but also the Gulf of Aden, including Somalia, and the Suez Canal, including Lessepsian species. Literature on fossils finds, especially from the Pliocene, Pleistocene and Holocene, is listed too. Introduction My interest in recent shells from the Red Sea dates from about 1996. Since then, I have been, now and then, trying to obtain information on this subject. Recently I decide to stop gathering information in a haphazard way and to do it more properly. This resulted in a survey of approximately 1,420 references (Van Gemert, 2010). Since then, this survey has been enlarged considerably and contains now approximately 2,100 references. They are presented here. Scope In principle every publication in which mollusks are reported to live or have lived in the Red Sea should be listed in the survey. This means that besides primary literature, i.e. articles in which researchers are reporting their finds for the first time, secondary and tertiary literature, i.e. reviews, monographs, books, etc are to be included too. These publications were written not only by a wide range of authors ranging from amateur shell collectors to profesional malacologists but also by people interested in other fields. This implies that not only malacological journals and books should be considered, but also publications from other fields or disciplines, such as environmental pollution, toxicology, parasitology, aquaculture, fisheries, biochemistry, biogeography, geology, sedimentology, ecology, archaeology, Egyptology and palaeontology, in which Red Sea shells are mentioned. -
Supplement – December 2017 – Survey of the Literature on Recent
A Malacological Journal ISSN 1565-1916 No. 36 - SUPPLEMENT DECEMBER 2017 2 SURVEY OF THE LITERATURE ON RECENT SHELLS FROM THE RED SEA (third enlarged and revised edition) L.J. van Gemert* Summary This literature survey lists approximately 3,050 references. Shells are being considered here as the shell bearing molluscs of the Gastropoda, Bivalvia and Scaphopoda. The area does not only comprise the Red Sea, but also the Gulf of Aden, Somalia and the Suez Canal, including the Lessepsian species in the Mediterranean Sea. Literature on fossils shells, particularly those from the Holocene, Pleistocene and Pliocene, is listed too. Introduction My interest in recent shells from the Red Sea dates from about 1996. Since then, I have been, now and then, trying to obtain information on this subject. Some years ago I decide to stop gathering data in a haphazard way and to do it more properly. This resulted in a first survey of approximately 1,420 and a second one of 2,025 references (van Gemert, 2010 & 2011). Since then, this survey has again been enlarged and revised and a number of errors have been corrected. It contains now approximately 3,050 references. Scope In principle every publication in which molluscs are reported to live or have lived in the Red Sea should be listed in the survey. This means that besides primary literature, i.e. articles in which researchers are reporting their finds for the first time, secondary and tertiary literature, i.e. reviews, monographs, books, etc are to be included too. These publications were written not only by a wide range of authors ranging from amateur shell collectors to professional malacologists but also people interested in the field of archaeology, geology, etc. -
