Synopsis

This book offers a wide-ranging exploration of the interconnectedness of environment, development, and sustainability, and its societal impacts. It delves into diverse viewpoints and challenges related to environmental degradation and sustainability. By analyzing current development trends and documenting the issues causing ecological imbalances, it presents alternative development paths to sustainability. Divided into three sections, it critically examines 'perspectives' on ecology, development ethics, rural development, and human-forest interaction in cities. 'Issues' such as dams, rivers, agricultural distress, environmental migration, eco-tourism, conservation, and land acquisition are assessed in the second part. The third part explores 'alternative' development methods through chapters on constructed wetlands, biofuels, subsistence economies, water management, and traditional knowledge practices. This interdisciplinary work is invaluable to academics, researchers, students, policymakers, and NGOs in environmental and development fields.
