Comprising of 20 Districts ) is the only Indian State to have a coastline as well as the Himalayas and is situated between 21º20’ and 27º32’ N latitude and 85º50’ and 89º52’ E longitude, bordering Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan. The State supports approximately 7.54% of the population of India on only 2.69% of the country’s geographical area. The State has the highest population density of 1029 persons per sq. km. 72% of the population resides in rural areas whereas 28% resides in urban areas of the State. The demand of forest produce for this huge population on the limited natural resources e.g the land and forests, makes it almost impossible to be met from the notified forest area, which is only 13.32%. To cope up with the situation, efforts have been taken by the Forest Department to increase the forest and tree cover through promotion of Social Forestry, Farm Forestry, Agro Forestry, Community Forestry& afforestation on wasteland, panchayet land, Private land, tea gardens etc. outside the notified Forest area. There has also been a conscious effort to enhance the forest productivity by improving of planting stock through Modern Nursery hycopot seedlings and by the use of clonal technology etc. The state has two distinct natural divisions; the North Himalayas and the South Alluvial Gangetic plains. A large number of Rivers cut through the state of West Bengal. On their way they gift some of the most fertile and rich land areas to the state. River Ganga is the most important among the Rivers that flows through the state of West Bengal. In the

    Research Article Gajah 40 (2014) 18-25 Foraging Ecology of the Asian Elephant in Northern West Bengal Mukti Roy1* and Sushant Chowdhury2 1Asian Nature Conservation Foundation, Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, Banaglore, India 2Wildlife Institute of India, Chandrabani, Dehradun, India *Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Foraging by Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) was studied using the lead animal technique at Buxa Tiger Reserve, Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary and Gorumara National Park in West Bengal, India. Feeding trials were done in three broad habitat types—Dense-mixed, Open-mixed and Grassland. In total, 3150 bite counts and 67 consumed plant species consisting of 17 grasses, 6 herbs, 13 shrubs, 14 climbers and 17 trees, were recorded. Browse species bites formed 56% of the total sample and 89 %, 57%, and 24 % of the samples in dense-mixed, open-mixed and grassland, respectively. Crude protein in common wild grasses such as Saccharum spontaneum and S. arundinaceum was lower than cultivated crops like Eleucine corocana. Introduction The main study areas were the Buxa Tiger Reserve, Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary and Foraging is a major factor in animal movement Gorumara National Park.

Mukhopadhyay3 1 Department of Zoology, Durgapur Government College, JN Avenue, Durgapur – 713214, West Bengal, India 2 Department of Conservation Biology, Durgapur Government College, JN Avenue, Durgapur – 713214, West Bengal, India 3 Department of Zoology, Hooghly Mohsin College, Chinsurah – 712101, West Bengal, India (Accepted November 15, 2012) ABSTRACT A rapid avifaunal diversity assessment was carried out at three different locations of north Bengal viz. Gorumara National Park (GNP), Buxa Tiger Reserve (BTR) (Jayanti/Jainty range) and Rasik Beel Wetland Complex (RBWC) during 2nd No- vember and 14th November 2008. A total of 117 bird species belonging to 42 families were recorded during the present short span study. The highest bird diversity was recorded in GNP with 87 bird species, followed by RBWC (75) and BTR (68). The transition zones between GNP and BTR, BTR and RBWC and GNP and RBWC were represented by 51, 41 and 57 common bird species, respectively. A total of 36 bird species were recorded in all three study sites. This diverse distribution of bird species was reflected in the study of diversity indices where the highest Shannon–Wiener diversity index score of 3.86 was recorded from GNP followed by RBWC (3.64) and BTR (2.84). The similar trend was also observed for Simpson’s Dominance Index, Pielou’s Evenness Index and Margalef’s Richness Index.

Correspondence Address: * C/O- Bijoy Dey (Bishu), Bang Chatra Road (Near Five Star Club), Guriahati, Cooch Behar, Pin- 736170, State- West Bengal, India. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Cooch Behar district is a land of many perennial rivers. According to the Kochbihar Royal history „Baniadaha‟ river is a distributary of river Torsa and this channel was the navigational route between Bhetaguri and Bangladesh. But at present, like all other rivers of foothills of North Bengal, it is in critical stage of decay. On the basis of field investigation it has been found that the consequent decay of the channel is due mainly to unscientific discharge of domestic waste, construction of unauthorized culverts and bridges across the river, damping of garbage by the encroachers, rapid sedimentation at the off-take point and the embankments construction activities have finally tolled death knell of the „Baniadaha‟. It ultimately turned into a paleo channel for the south-eastern part of Cooch Behar district. At many places the course has totally dried up. The decay of Baniadaha is now considered to be the main cause for water logging and various types of water borne diseases in the surrounding area of this river. The waterway is already gasping for life with the continuous interruption of human beings causing almost total degeneration of the channel. The present study endeavors to examine the different causes and consequences of the decay of the Baniadaha channel from its off-take at Boro Atharokotha (26⁰18‟39.08” N, 89⁰ 25‟22.77” E) from the parent river Torsa to confluence at the Dharla River in Bangladesh (25⁰56‟11.44” N, 89⁰31‟49.77” E) and suggests suitable remedial measures for its revival.

  • Chapter II: River System and Drainage
    Chapter II: River System and Drainage 2.11ntroduction The sub-Himalayan Jalpaiguri district is endowed with intricate river systems originating from the Sikkim, Darjeeling, Bhutan and Tibetan Himalayas draining across the Himalayas (figure 2.1 ). The piedmont zone is dissected by mountain streams of various sizes. The proportion of river length and catchment area between zone of erosion and deposition in various types differ considerably (Starkel, L & Sarkar, S, 2002). The river systems of sub­ Himalayan Jalpaiguri district have been genetically classified in following 7 types by Starkel et.al, in 2008. (i) Large transit river originated in high Himalaya. This group is represented by three rivers Tista. Torsa and Sankosh, with perennial discharge, feed both by rain and melt waters. Deep canyons in marginal part and mega-fans in the foreland indicate very high water discharge and high sediment load. Great alluvial fans and braided channels with frequent avulsions extend far up to the river Brahmaputra. (ii Rivers dissecting Lesser Hm1alaya. Only river .laldhaka under this group dwin·, catchment.
