Date: 31 .03.2015 Foreword Conserving biodiversity and the ecosystem is the only hope for a better world. These are matters of urgency that require sustained concerted high-level attention as they have broad impact not just on the land, but also on economic and social development, and needs to be considered in the context of sustainable development of the State. To this end, we must ensure that the demand on the environment from which we derive our sustenance, does not exceed its carrying capacity for the present as well as future generations. Protecting an environment simply implies the sustainable use as well as management of natural resources which include wildlife, water, air, and earth deposits. There are renewable and non-renewable natural resources. Conservation of natural resources generally focuses on the needs & interests of human beings, for instance the biological, economic, cultural and recreational values. Conservationists have the view that development is necessary for a better future, but only when the changes occur in ways that are not wasteful. The main focus of the District Environmental Profiles of Eco-sensitive areas of Tamil Nadu is to provide the baseline data, which will aid in the formulation of an appropriate policy for wise management of the resources. The District Environmental Profiles of Eco-sensitive areas of Tamil Nadu is of great utility as it provides all the basic information required for carrying out environmental monitoring, assessment and enforcement by various Departments such as the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board, TWAD Board, Chennai Metro Water and Sewerage Board etc. I congratulate DR. H. Malleshappa, I.F.S., Director of Environment and his staff, especially the ENVIS Centre, for bringing out this report. I hope that this report will be a benchmark and be used for conserving the environmental resources of Tamil Nadu by all stakeholders. DR. H. MALLESHAPPA, I.F.S., Department of Environment, Director of Environment Saidapet, Chennai-15 Date: 31 .03.2015 Preface The District Environmental Profiles of Eco-sensitive areas of Tamil Nadu provides a general picture of the various bio- physical and socio-economic conditions prevailing in the three Eco-sensitive areas of Tamil Nadu and an understanding of how human activities affect the environmental conditions and its implications on human health and economic well being. It also provides an overview of the outcome of responses such as policy initiatives, legislative reform and changes in policy behavior. The Profiles document the present status of key sectors that are concerned with the environment; and the issues that impact in key sectors such as demography, agriculture and horticulture, forests and wildlife, biodiversity, water resources, coastal and marine environment, energy, industrialization, urbanization, archaeology, tourism, pollution, waste management and infrastructure. In the absence of a centralized repository for environment related data, this report would serve as the database for policy formulation and preparation of environmental management plans in Tamil Nadu. I would also like to thank all the Government line Departments and Institutions for providing valuable data and information for the preparation of this report. I am extremely thankful to Thiru Hans Raj Verma, I.A.S., Principal Secretary, Environment and Forests Department and for his valuable guidance during the preparation of this Report. I express my thanks to Dr. Jayanthi M., I.F.S., Additional Director, Department of Environment and all the staff of the Department of Environment during the preparation of this Report. Further, I thank the staff of the ENVIS centre for collecting, collating and analyzing scientific information from various sources and compiling this report in the present form. I am sure the District Environmental Profiles of Eco-sensitive areas of Tamil Nadu, brought out through the pioneering effort of the Department of Environment will be useful to all the departments of the Government, researchers and students for environment planning and management. I welcome comments and suggestions for improving the report. Director Department of Environment ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The District Environmental Profile for the districts of Coimbatore, Karur, Tiruppur and Erode is the outcome of serious efforts and combined team work of large number of Engineers & Scientists of ABC Techno Labs India Private Limited.

  • Problems of Salination of Land in Coastal Areas of India and Suitable Protection Measures

K. Puram, New Delhi-110066 FOREWORD Salinity is a significant challenge and poses risks to sustainable development of Coastal regions of India. If left unmanaged, salinity has serious implications for water quality, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, supply of water for critical human needs and industry and the longevity of infrastructure. The Coastal Salinity has become a persistent problem due to ingress of the sea water inland. This is the most significant environmental and economical challenge and needs immediate attention. The coastal areas are more susceptible as these are pockets of development in the country. Most of the trade happens in the coastal areas which lead to extensive migration in the coastal areas. This led to the depletion of the coastal fresh water resources. Digging more and more deeper wells has led to the ingress of sea water into the fresh water aquifers turning them saline. The rainfall patterns, water resources, geology/hydro-geology vary from region to region along the coastal belt.

  • Bhadra Voluntary Relocation India
    BHADRA VOLUNTARY RELOCATION INDIA INDIA FOREWORD During my tenure as Director Project Tiger in the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Govt. of India, I had the privilege of participating in voluntary relocation of villages from Bhadra Tiger Reserve. As nearly two decades have passed, whatever is written below is from my memory only. Mr Yatish Kumar was the Field Director of Bhadra Tiger Reserve and Mr Gopalakrishne Gowda was the Collector of Chikmagalur District of Karnataka during voluntary relocation in Bhadra Tiger Reserve. This Sanctuary was notified as a Tiger Reserve in the year 1998. After the notification as tiger reserve, it was necessary to relocate the existing villages as the entire population with their cattle were dependent on the Tiger Reserve. The area which I saw in the year 1998 was very rich in flora and fauna. Excellent bamboo forests were available but it had fire hazard too because of the presence of villagers and their cattle. Tiger population was estimated by Dr. Ullas Karanth and his love for this area was due to highly rich biodiversity. Ultimately, resulted in relocation of all the villages from within the reserve. Dr Karanth, a devoted biologist was a close friend of mine and during his visit to Delhi he proposed relocation of villages. As the Director of Project Tiger, I was looking at voluntary relocation of villages for tribals only from inside Tiger Reserve by de-notifying suitable areas of forests for relocation, but in this case the villagers were to be relocated by purchasing a revenue land which was very expensive.

There are a few centers of sacredness, which are held at high esteem by the ardent devotees who dream to travel and worship God in these holy places. All these holy sites have some mythological significance attached to them. When people go to a temple, they say they go for Darsan – of the image of the presiding deity. The pinnacle act of Hindu worship is to stand in the presence of the deity and to look upon the image so as to see and be seen by the deity and to gain the blessings. There are thousands of Siva sthalams- pilgrimage sites - renowned for their divine images. And it is for the Darsan of these divine images as well the pilgrimage places themselves - which are believed to be the natural places where Gods have dwelled - the pilgrimage is made.
