Gujarat Birds, Mammals and Temples Report February 2007
Reconnaissance trip to Gujarat, West India 1st – 15th February 2007 by Jo Thomas www.wildaboutindia.com Thought you might like to read about my recent business trip to Gujarat. Our original plan was to spend a couple of days in Rajasthan before taking an internal flight to Guwahati to explore the north-east, including Kaziranga and Nameri in Assam and five days at Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary in Arunachal Pradesh. The latter was to involve camping in temperatures down to zero degrees. The prospect of seeing the recently named Bugun Liocichla, a new bird species discovered to science, made the thought of ‘roughing it a bit’ seem all worth while. Add to that being in the right habitat for Tragopans, Hoolock Gibbons and even Red Pandas and we were pretty excited about what the trip would have in store for us. However, due to increasing tensions in Assam and advice on the FCO (Foreign and Common Wealth Office) website to avoid all but essential travel, we decided to change our plans. Instead we travelled to Gujarat in the very far west which boasts 1/3 of India’s coastline. We had booked our internal flights over the internet with Spicejet, a reputable and highly recommended airline. It was an easy process to log on and cancel our flights to the north- east (you need to do this at least 2 hours before the flight departure time), then book our flight to Ahmedabad in Gujarat, forfeiting a small administration fee and paying the difference in cost between the two flights. Gujarat had always appealed to me.

The Sand Bar Formation and Its Impact on the Mangrove Ecosystem: a Case Study of Kadalundi Estuary of Kadalundi River Basin in Kerala, India
Current World Environment Vol. 11(1), 65-71 (2016) The Sand Bar Formation and its Impact on the Mangrove Ecosystem: A Case Study of Kadalundi Estuary of Kadalundi River Basin in Kerala, India K B BINDU1* and G JAYAPAL2 Department of Geography, Kannur University. http://dx.doi.org/10.12944/CWE.11.1.08 (Received: March 11, 2016; Accepted: April 06, 2016) Abstract Mangrove ecosystems are prone to die due to both anthropogenic and natural effects. The present study is a case study of how the formation of sand bars affects the natural mangrove ecosystem and becoming a threat to its rich biodiversity of flora and fauna. The Kadalundi – Vallikkunnu Community Reserve located in Kozhikode and Malappuram Districts in Kerala State is the first community reserve of Kerala, declared in 2007 which spread across 1.5 sq. km. and this area includes Kadalundi bird sanctuary, mangroves and estuarine. These area mainly affected by numerous biotic interferences like over fishing, collection of oyster and mussels, mining of sand and lime and also retting of coconut. The formation of sand bars at the mouth of the river has resulted in the massive die back of the mangrove vegetation, especially that of Avicennia Marina which is one of the five species of mangroves found in the Kadalundi – Vallikunnu community reserve. The illegal utilization of land for coconut plantation, urbanization and dumping of urban waste near the mouth of the river had made the problem highly complicated. The present study highlights the need for urgent measures to be adopted from the authorities to ensure community participation for restoration of community reserve.
