National Workshop on Natural Heritage: Proceedings — INTACH, September 4–5, 2008 (Paperback)

Description

Tribal existence closely follows the patterns of nature. The nomadic Bakerwals survive on their understanding of these patterns and of late are suffering the vagaries of development which is encroaching upon their grazing grounds as well as upon the vagaries of climate change. The report portrays their way of life and the changes taking place under the changing presures of modern influences.

“The book contains eleven (11) papers for the four (4) sessions, which consist of ‘Understanding Natural Heritage’, ‘Listing and documenting Natural Heritage’, ‘World Heritage Sites (Natural) in India’, ‘Policy and Legislation for Natural Heritage’. The workshop was a new thrust area for INTACH to build momentum and for a network for the conservation of natural heritage in the country.”
