M. GOPAL SINGHA

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

The ecology, which exists in an abstract form is a delicate concept of all biotic and abiotic components of a particular area. The geographical location, physiography and climate are the basic parameters of an area for evaluation from the ecological point of view. The precinct of ecological studies has widened with the changing nature of ecosystem which is mainly due to human activities. Sustainable use means the use that does not interfere with the ecological integrity of any living thing or their ecosystem and which are socially equitable to people. Wetland are the multifaceted ecosystems that have an interface between land and water. They may be termed as the 'kidneys' of the biosphere. According to an estimate 6 Per Cent of the total land surface of the earth is covered by wetland (Bazilevich et al.,1971). As per estimate of Wetland Directory, 1990, Ministry of Environment and Forests, India's wetland area accounts for about 4.1 million hectares
