  • Constructing Environmental Citizens Through Narratives of Optimism
    Education Research Highlights in Mathematics, Science and Technology 2019 Environmental Education in India: Constructing Environmental Citizens through Narratives of Optimism Rebecca A. Johns University of South Florida, United States Rachelle Pontes University of South Florida, United States Indian Narratives of Environmental Citizenship Environmental education (EE) programs, wherever they exist, create narratives of value and meaning. Through deliberate choice of topics, perspectives, and approaches to teaching, environmental educators construct a story about nature and human relations to it, presenting an ideal image of what it means to be an environmental citizen. Educators make choices about the intended audience for their programs, and they create expectations for behavioral change through program design. Narratives commonly aim to instruct, convey truths and values about a culture, encourage action, and legitimize behavior (Foss, 2009). By examining the rhetorical construction of the environmental citizen through an in-depth analysis of EE programs at key sites in India, we can better understand how the practitioners understand the process of social change required to ultimately address critical environmental challenges. Furthermore, patterns of both topical emphasis and pedagogical strategy can illuminate the extent to which programs in India fulfill the widely accepted four-point framework for effective EE. India’s narrative of environmental citizenship can then be placed in the context of international critiques of EE. India is the second largest country in the world in terms of population. With the second fastest growing economy in the world, India is expected to become one of the top three economic powers over the next several decades, positioning it as an economic powerhouse with mounting global influence.

A rich variety of flora like: aromatic sandalwood, pipal and banyan trees are abundantly available in the State. The river Cauvery, Tunga, Krishna, Kapila – enrich the soil of the land and contribute to the State’s agricultural prosperity. The water falls created by the rivers are a feast to the eyes of the outlookers. Historical bakground: Karnataka is a land with rich historical past. It has many pre-historic sites and most of them are in the river valleys. The pre-historic culture of Karnataka is quite distinct from the pre- historic culture of North India, which may be compared with that existed in Africa. 1 Parts of Karnataka were subject to the rule of the Nandas, Mauryas and the Shatavahanas; Chandragupta Maurya (either Chandragupta I or Sannati Chandragupta Asoka’s grandson) is believed to have visited Sravanabelagola and spent his last years in this place.

  • Forests, Wildlife & People on the Margins
    FORESTS, WILDLIFE & PEOPLE ON THE MARGINS: PERMEABLE LANDSCAPES IN THE EASTERN GHATS, INDIA By DIYA PAUL A dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Geography Written under the direction of Heidi Hausermann and Laura Schneider And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION FORESTS, WILDLIFE & PEOPLE ON THE MARGINS: PERMEABLE LANDSCAPES IN THE EASTERN GHATS, INDIA By DIYA PAUL Dissertation Co-Directors: Heidi Hausermann Laura Schneider Wildlife and human needs are often enmeshed within discursive representations and praxis of wildlife conservation in the Global South. In India, more than three quarters of forested area is “unprotected.” These spaces are categorized as Reserve Forests and support diverse flora and fauna within complex landscapes of human settlement and agricultural fields. Much of this biodiversity remains understudied and underrepresented. This dissertation explores how biophysical and social factors coproduce space to create a conducive landscape for wildlife in the semi-arid Eastern Ghats of South India. I employ a mixed-methods approach to respond to calls for more integrated research in conservation, and use a range of data sources such as semi-structured interviews, household surveys, faunal surveys and satellite imagery. The findings illustrate how livelihood diversity and everyday practices of rural communities living on the periphery of four Reserve Forests shape both landscape composition and structure. Species distribution models that assess relative likelihoods of distribution of the Sloth Bear, Four-horned Antelope, Wild boar and Leopard in the study area provide insight ii into the socio-ecological conditions under which shared spaces are created and maintained.
