Geetha Produced by Zoo Outreach Organization April 2020 (Eleventh electronic publication) Zoo Outreach Organization 12, Thiruvannamalai Nagar, Saravanampatty Coimbatore 641035, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Ph: +91, 9385339862 & 9385339863 Email: [email protected] Web site: http://www.zooreach.org & www.zoosprint.org INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Directory of ZOO's Educator Network, or ZEN. ZEN serves the region of South Asia, covering Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The purpose of the Directory is to assist zoo, wildlife, environmental, animal welfare, and nature educators come to know the how to contact others in their field. Our educators work for very diverse institutions under a dramatically varied condition. Some are employed and some are volunteers. Some are professionals, e.g. employed as educators while others have other employment in diverse profession but conduct education programmes in their spare time. Some educators have whole buildings devoted to their craft with Education Centres and a staff of dozens with hundreds of volunteers. Others work alone with barely a desk much less a building to say nothing of a budget, support staff volunteers, or even cooperation from their management. Because of the diversity of circumstances of wildlife educators in South Asia, Zoo Outreach Organization began catalyzing and then supplementing educational efforts for wildlife education in India. ZOO raises funds from western zoos, wildlife and animal welfare organizations and uses the money to design, print and distribute thousands of items to be used to educate the public in South Asia to be caring for all animals. Due to postage and customs restrictions, zoos in India get most of the benefit of tangible materials but we send material in soft copy by email to educators in other countries. They can use any of the materials they want by printing in their own country. ZOO offers these materials to any organization that wishes to teach people about any aspect of wild animals ... conservation, welfare, protection, etc. Field biologists use our materials to educate people in their field sites, thus adding value to their fieldwork and building helpful relationships. We hope more of the people in South Asia who want to spread the messages of wildlife conservation and wild animal welfare will take advantage of our services. If you know others who like to teach about wildlife, tell them about us and tell them to write to us. With best wishes, Zoo Outreach Organization (ZOO) & ZOO's Educator Network (ZEN) Contact : R.

  • 9 State Forest Management and Biodiversity: a Case of Kerala, India
    9 State Forest Management and Biodiversity: A Case of Kerala, India Ellyn K. DAMAYANTI & MASUDA Misa 1. Introduction Republic of India is the seventh largest country in the world, covering an area of 3,287,263 km2.has large and diverse forest resources in 633,397 km2 of forest covers or 19.27% of land areas (ICFRE, 2003; FAO, 2003). Forest types in India vary from topical rainforest in northeastern India, to desert and thorn forests in Gujarat and Rajasthan; mangrove forests in West Bengal, Orissa and other coastal areas; and dry alpine forests in the western Himalaya. The most common forest types are tropical moist deciduous forest, tropical dry deciduous forests, and wet tropical evergreen forests. India has a large network of protected areas, including 89 national parks and around 497 wildlife sanctuaries (MoEF, 2005). India has long history in forest management. The first formal government approach to forest management can be traced to the enactment of the National Forest Policy of 1894, revised in 1952 and once again revised in 1988, which envisaged community involvement in the protection and regeneration of forest (MoEF, 2003). Even having large and diverse forest resources, India’s national goal is to have a minimum of one-third of the total land area of the country under forest or tree cover (MoEF, 1988). In management of state forests, the National Forest Policy, 1988 emphasizes schemes and projects, which interfere with forests that clothe slopes; catchments of rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, geologically unstable terrain and such other ecologically sensitive areas, should be severely restricted.

    Artha J Soc Sci, 12, 3 (2013), 1-18 ISSN 0975-329X|doi.org/10.12724/ajss.26.1 New Light on the Unresolved Problem of Megalithic Habitation Sites in Kerala N Nikhil Das*, P P Joglekar† and R K Mohanty‡ Abstract This paper is intended to evaluate one of the major research problems in Kerala Archaeology, the absence of a habitation site in the Megalithic (Iron Age Early Historic period) context. Although a number of Megalithic sites have been reported from Kerala, the absence of habitation remains as a lacuna to understand the entire cultural processes of this period. Recent investigations conducted in the eastern fringes of Kerala brought to light habitation evidences associated with burials. This paper discusses problems and misconceptions related to the Megalithic habitation in Kerala on the basis of recent discoveries. Keywords: Megalithic, Habitation, Iron-age, Early historic, Pottery, Site, Kerala Introduction The Megalithic culture is the period when man used huge stones to construct their graves. The tentative period of the Megalithic culture in India can be broadly dated back to ca.1000 BC to ca. 5 century AD.

I am very much privileged getting opportunity to study these ‘Masters of Sky’ and their conservation. The way the White-backed Vultures were declining in our area, it was difficult to take up conservation programme for them without the help I have received from several volunteers, experts, governmental and non- governmental institutes, etc. I would like to thank the individuals and organizations who have made it possible to implement the project. I am grateful to the World Wide Fund (WWF), India for approving this project proposal and providing financial support through Small Grant Programme (SGP) to carry out this laborious vulture conservation activity. Without the financial support it would have not been possible to provide ‘Diclofenac-free’ carcass (food) to the thriving vulture population for a period of more than nine months.

  • “Clean BEACH CAMPAIGN” Year: 2012 - 13
    “Clean BEACH CAMPAIGN” Year: 2012 - 13 Gujarat Ecology Commission Gandhinagar 1. Background Gujarat State is having the largest coastline in India majoring about 1600 k.m. This coastline harbours variety of natural heritage and coastal natural health. Gujarat is basically a maritime sector endowed with 1650 k.m long coastline (Over 21% of the Indian coastline of 7517 km), which makes it strategically serving as natural gateway to India. The coastline of Gujarat has two indentations, the Gulf of Kachchh and Gulf of Khambhat covering about 60% of the state coastline. Beach is one of the important ecological habitats which is also identified as ecological sensitive area in the CRZ notification 2011. The beaches are harbouring variety of biodiversity as well as provide the ground to nurture entire ecosystem. Thus Gujarat coast provides ample scope to develop beach/coast based tourism. As pert the recent survey conducted by TCGL in the tourism tread fair it was found that Indian tourist love to travel on domestic destination than the flying outside the country with an average spending of Rs. 18,000.00. Considering importance of coastal area as one of the hottest destinies for the tourist the State Government of Gujarat had earmarked 350 crores for the development of infrastructure over the identified locations of coastal areas. Recently GUJTOP [A Joint Venture of TCGL and IL & FS] had developed potential 20 Beaches [Tithal [Valsad], Dandi [Navasari, Gogha, katpar, Madhavpur, Miyani, Odedar, [Porbandar] Pingleshwar [Kachchh], Poshitra, Sarkeshwar, Shivarajpur, [Amereli] etc] to develop it as one of the tourism destiny.

    Public Lectures RE-VISITING IRON AGE IN SOUTH INDIA On 20th August 2019 (10:00 am) At AC Conference Hall, Vyloppilly Samskrithi Bhavan Nalanda, Thiruvananthapuram Kerala Council for Historical Research Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala www.kchr.ac.in Iron Age Social Formation in South India Dr. V. Selvakumar Iron Age has been a formative phase in the early history of South India. Megalithic burials attributable to the Iron Age and Early Historic period are found all across Peninsular India and also in Sri Lanka. They are the most widely distributed archaeological remains in South India, with major similarity in material culture. Although numerous megalithic burials of the Iron Abstract Age have been identified, documented, excavated and researched in different parts of South India, the question of social formation has not been addressed sufficiently, except for a few attempts (Udaiyaravi Moorthy 1994; Gurukkal 2012). Megalithic burial practices were in vogue in the Early Historic period as well. One of the issues here pertains to the vast time span of the megalithic burials, mostly extending from the first millennium BCE to the first millennium CE, although a few of the burials could fall out of this time span. Comprehending the megalithic burials belonging to such a vast time-span has been a complex issue. The megalithic traditions witnessed diverse historical dynamics throughout their existence. In the early historic context, we get evidence for the introduction of script, coinage, political formations, Mauryan political domination and Indian Ocean exchange. The vast variations in the megalithic burial typology do suggest differences in belief systems and the nature of burial practices across South India.
