Volume : III, Issue : III, April - 2013 CHANGING ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM AND PROBLEM OF SUSTAINABLE WETLAND UTILIZATION AND ITS MANAGEMENT IN GOALPARA DISTRICT OF ASSAM - A CASE STUDY OF 'NAITARA- CHAUTORA' WETLAND AND NEIGHBOURHOOD 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 Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : M. GOPAL SINGHA, (2013).
