Indian Wildlife Insight Guide by Engelstalig Insight Guide

India, the original jungle, matches Africa in wilderness and wildlife but is also home to one sixth of humanity. "Indian Wildlife" has been fully updated and revised by India's top naturalist, Dr. Asad Rahmani. The first section of this guide presents the broad spectrum of species including their habitat, wildlife and major conflicts and conservation issues. The tiger, the Indian elephant and the great one-horned rhinoceros are covered in dedicated chapters, as are the Himalayan, desert and marine habitats. Others are grouped under headings such as primates, birds reptiles etc. The section begins with chapters overviewing the state of the Indian environment and the diverse forest flora, and ends with an essay on the traditions of conservation in rural communities - a background for the National Parks and sanctuaries detailed in the second half of this guide. Couple this with hundreds of stunning photographs, detailed maps and all the travel tips visitors will need and you have the ultimate guide to Indian Wildlife.
