Agricultural practices have the potential to negatively impact local ecosystems. Further, the clearing of native vegetation to make way for farming land could give rise to the loss of various faunal species. If properly managed, such practices have the potential to adopt a holistic approach combining agricultural produce and local species conservation. To examine such a prospective approach, the community conservation initiatives started by the agricultural village of Kanalsi, Haryana was the focus of attention. To begin with, the land use within the village and nearby areas was considered to examine the forest and agriculture dominated areas. Secondly, a survey was conducted in the month of December, 2012 to record the number of avian species present within this landscape. In total, 79 species of birds were recorded. Despite being an agriculture dominated region, the ecosystem conservation initiatives started by the local village communities had played a positive role for the protection of local avifauna.Keywords

The Indian Himalaya continues to face increasing anthropogenic stressors despite numerous conservation actions. Further, climate change has the potential to negatively affect this biodiversity rich region. To counteract the changing climatic variables, targeted education programmes could act as a strategy and assist in protecting the floral/faunal species requiring urgent intervention, and benefit communities and ecosystems at large.Full Text

Rivers provide ecological and socio-economic benefits despite being highly threatened ecosystems. They continue to face anthropogenic and natural stresses. The Aglar in the Indian Himalaya is an important tributary of the Yamuna River, and hosts the annual 'fish festival' of the region. Field studies have revealed that this festival could harm endemic/threatened fish species of the Aglar. Lethal methods such as the use of bleaching powder and electricity should be banned; instead angling and cast netting in a regulated way could be promoted.Full Text

Human-wildlife conflict is a conservation challenge facing scientists and policy-makers worldwide with an increasing demand for holistic resolution strategies. Conflict with wild animals has the potential to negatively affect the livelihood and well-being of communities and revengeful killing of the animals to safeguard personal interests. This is a worrying development, especially for threatened wild species if deemed as 'conflict species, as it can greatly hinder their protection and conservation especially in developing countries.Full Text

The lockdowns imposed to contain the COVID-19 spread had an indisputably cascading effect on the aquaculture industry across the globe. It has adversely impacted the Indian fisheries sector through changing purchaser demand, supply chain disruptions, trade restrictions, and also the livelihood of millions dependent on it. However, the consequential reduced fishing will also likely help in replenishment of the aquatic biodiversity and provide the balance needed in the long-term sustenance of the fisheries sector. The technological and policy interventions in pre- and post-harvest fisheries operations are anticipated to reduce some of these negative impacts in similar lockdown scenarios.Keywords
