The present study focuses on marketing aspects of selected NTFPs of commercial importance. Emphasis has been given to NTFP items collected by the villagers/NFMPC members in and around the forests under the JFM system. The collector of NTFPs gets a small fraction of surplus generated by produce sold in the market. The middlemen (the agents, traders and wholesellers) receive the maximum benefit from marketing of surplus NTFPs. There is an urgent need for policy intervention to ensure maximum returns to local people.

Tourism in protected areas in Indian Sundarban has the potential to provide economic development as well as sources of the funding for maintaining the environmental values of the national park. But that require a great deal of tourism management in core and buffer zone of protected areas. It is well known that there are a number of environmental effects arising from tourism that are degrading the natural values of the protected area resulting in lower amenity value for tourists. This paper deals with present scenario of mass tourism impact on Sundarban National Park of West Bengal (India), which is one of the UNESCO heritage site. The problems associated with tourism are exacerbated by the lack of recognition given to the impacts resulting from tourists visiting the area and the lack of control placed on their behaviour within the park. There is a great need for adoption of appropriate management activities through awareness and education of local communities, regulatory bodies and tourists in and around the National park area.Keywords

The paper deals with the flora of Chasnala mine complex including various dump sites. The survey of flora deals with enumeration of species, their life forms and dispersal types. It is evident that the dumps can acquire flora and advent of the species is contributed by flora of adjacent areas. The wind dispersed species are rich and the herbaceous species predominate initially. Chemophytes and hemicryptophytes have advantage in the pioneering stage. Grasses and legumes also appeared in the early successional stages.Full Text

Tourism is a new category of industrial development which often damages the environment unless adequate safeguard is taken up. Coastal tourism in Bakkliali beach is not an exception. In the present communication an attempt has been made to address the issues of implementing ecotourism programme in Bakkhali area.Keywords

The study has attempted to assess ecological impact for drawl of water for industrial usage from river Wainganga comprising of producers (viz., Planktons, Periphytons, Macrophytes) and consumers like benthic organisms and fishes, reptiles, amphibians and birds. For the purpose, the study analysed the diversity and load of phytoplankton and zooplankton of river Wainganga. Furthermore, Species Diversity, which measures the bio-diversity and heterogeneity of aquatic ecosystem, was calculated based on the Shanon Weiner’s function. Now, species diversity of a community has 2 components: (i) species richness, and (ii) species evenness. To calculate species evenness, Pielou’s Index of equitability was used. The study further explored the presence of periphytons, macrobenthos, aquatic/semiaquatic macrophytes, fishes, reptiles, amphibians, water birds, etc. in Wainganga river. Finally, based on the threat assessment, the study has envisaged essential actions to restore the ecological balance of the river Wainganga. Considering the scenario of likely impacts for drawl of water for industrial usage from the river, it was explored that there will be no major negative impacts on the ecology, as only 70 MCM water annually have been allocated for industrial usage. Furthermore, as ecological cycle has a self-regulating mechanism, therefore it is hoped that possibility of having minor impacts on the ecological environment of the River Wainganga shall be naturally mitigated with time.Keywords
