Wildlife today is competing with some of India's most underprivileged people for survival. This apart commercial and industrial pressures from far outside part boundaries reverberate within these fragile ecological oases making them vulnerable in a way they never have been before. Reconciling the question of preserving what little wildlife remains with the needs of humans has never seemed as tangled. Fortress conservation based solely on strict nature protection is one response to these pressures a response under attack. Recent tiger crises and tribal land rights debates have highlighted the opposition of strict preservationists to advocates of people's rights. Meanwhile fresh work in sociology and biology and innovative interventions show new ways forward that do not neatly fit existing paradigms. The book moves from generalities to specifics from ideal models to working approaches that seek to secure India's biodiversity by fashioning practical responses based on new often unexpected partnerships. A lucid introduction outlines the conservation situation in India the essays that follow illustrate various facets of it. Each essay is deeply grounded in the field the authors explore whether and how far animal and human needs can be reconciled. Making Conservation work articulates a new urgent discourse on conservation. It is a volume that looks ahead with cautious hope. For all who want to understand the conservation debate today this is an indispensable book. 298 pp.

This book explores the ways in which conservation of biodiversity can coexist with human actions and interests through a series of eight essays. These are tied together by an analytical introduction by the editors. It seeks to supplement the dominant discourse of conservation in India, which has traditionally depended on fencing off fragments of habitats and guarding them against human encroachment. However, formally designated Protected Areas occupy a very small proportion of territory and are therefore limited in value. Nature and natural processes transcend human boundaries and cannot be contained within the borders of nature reserves. This eclectic collection of essays explores inclusive conservation approaches in a spectrum of landscapes, from lake restoration in a metropolis to the issue of overfishing on the coastline. In the cases studied here, conservation action takes the producers or residents own imperatives into account along with wider ecological challenges. This method of conservation forges links with a range of actors: cultivators, herders, fishers and plantation owners, in addition to the government, the middle class and literati.
