FOREWORD I have much pleasure in introducing the Lohit Distri<^ Gazetteer, the first of a series of District Gazetteers proposed to be brought out by the Government of Arunachal Pradesh. A'Gazetteer is a repository of care­ fully collected and systematically collated information on a wide range of subjects pertaining to a particular area. These information are of con­ siderable importance and interest. Since independence, Arunachal Pra­ desh has been making steady progress in various spheres. This north-east frontier comer of the country has, during these years, witnessed tremen­ dous changes in social, economic, political and cultural spheres. These changes are reflected in die Gazetteers. 1 hope that as a reflex of these changes, the Lohit District Gazetteer would prove to be quite useful not only to the administrators but also to researdi schplars and all those who are keen to know in detail about one of the districts of Arunachal Pradesh.

  • Anuran Diversity Distribution Patterns in Lower Dibang Valley of Arunachal Pradesh, India
    Herpetology Notes, volume 11: 781-789 (2018) (published online on 27 September 2018) Anuran diversity distribution patterns in Lower Dibang Valley of Arunachal Pradesh, India Jayanta K. Roy1,2*, Ramie H. Begum1, and M. Firoz Ahmed2 Abstract. The present study was conducted to estimate the anuran species diversity distribution patterns at Lower Dibang Valley with respect to secondary habitat conservation. Time-constrained Visual Encounter Surveys (VES) were conducted for amphibians followed with opportunistic observations during the study period. We compared the species diversity from three land use/land cover types that explained the available habitats and the importance of secondary forest in recolonizing anuran species during the course of study. Interestingly, anuran diversity measured from secondary/abandoned jhum and primary forest areas were found to be relatively equal (Shannon index; H: 2.77 and 2.76). The highest percentage of unique species was recorded from primary forest followed by secondary/abundant jhum and agriculture/settlement areas. However, secondary/abandoned jhum areas provided refuge for most anuran species normally inhabiting primary forest. We found beneficial human interaction along with secondary succession for creating habitat heterogeneity in secondary/abundant forest; and thus supports maximum anuran breeding habitats and species diversity in secondary/abundant jhum areas. Hence, secondary/abundant habitats were also important for anuran habitat conservation along with primary forest. We reported four new distribution records from Arunachal Pradesh: Nanorana chayuensis, Hydrophylax leptoglossa, Odorrana chloronota and Theloderma moloch. Keywords. Arunachal Pradesh, anuran diversity, habitat heterogeneity, land use/land cover, Lower Dibang Valley Introduction et al., 2005), followed by vegetation cover and local microclimate (Rios-Lopez and Aide, 2007).

They provide a new mode of interaction which entails de-territorialised economic cooperation and free trade architecture, thereby making the spatial domain of territory secondary in the global economic relations. Taking a cue from this, both India and China looked ahead to revive their old trade routes in order to restore cross-border ties traversing beyond their political boundaries. Borders are the gateway to growth and development in the trajectory of contemporary economic diplomacy. They provide a new mode of interaction which entails de-territorialised economic cooperation and free trade architecture, thereby making the spatial domain of territory secondary in the global economic relations. Taking a cue from this, both India and China looked ahead to revive their old trade routes in order to restore cross-border ties traversing beyond their political boundaries. The reopening of the Nathula trade route in 2016 was realised as a catalyst in generating trust and confidence between India and China. Subsequently, the success of Nathula propelled the academia, policymakers and the civil society to rethink the model in the perspective of Arunachal Pradesh as well. So, the question that automatically arises here is: Should we apply this cross-border model in building up any entrepôt in Arunachal Pradesh? The response is positive and corroborated by my field interactions at the ground level.
