Ethno-herpetology of Sikkim
Author: Ajeya Jha
Publisher: Shhalaj Publishing House
ISBN: 9350184419
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Ethno-herpetology studies the relationship between people and reptiles and amphibians and is derived from “ethnic-” - relating to people and culture - and “herpetology” - the study of reptiles and amphibians. Sikkim being a melting pot of ethnic cultures as well as astounding biodiversity, provides exceptional motivation for the exploration of its ethno-herpetology. Since biological and ethnic diversity is often geography-specific, studying this in small geographical regions makes sense, as knowledge of ethno-herpetology varies extraordinarily across geographic boundaries. This book has been envisaged to capture Sikkim’s immense and vibrant ethno-herpetology. It is expected to bring a new understanding of this state’s rich bio-cultural heritage and provide new details and directions to researchers of ethnobiology, zoology, ecology, anthropology, human ecology, and culture. It sincerely hopes to generate greater interest in Sikkim, Ethno-herpetology, and herpetofauna. It has the potential to reward integration with tourism and traditional knowledge.

Category : Brahmaur (India : Tahsil)
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
The present study analyses various facets of Population ecology of the people of Sikkim State and Bharmour Tehsil, Chamba District, Himachal Pradesh to Project some fresh insight into certain areas not yet fully explored, which will eventually lead to a more comprehensive overview of population ecology and its various problems. No study can be completely exhaustive but the present one claims to be a step in that direction.In ecosystems of which human beings, including human settlements, form a part, human cultural components are taken into account. Although culture is a product of human populations and is ineffectual as an ecological force in the absence of such populations, it is neverthless useful to depict culture as a separate set of components of the system. Though it is generally understood that human well-being in a human settlement is essential, it does not have a commonly accept critierion. It may be vague or ambigous and hence elude definition. Well being has physical, mental, ethical, socio-economic, political and ecological dimensions. What constitutes health or welfare or pathology changes according to cultural setting, environmental conditions and ecological relationship.

Environment-Cultural Interaction and the Tribes of North-East India
Author: Banshaikupar Lyngdoh Mawlong
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443881562
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
All life forms on earth are complementary to each other; the existence and survival of one depend on the existence of another, and vice versa. However, no life forms are more dependent on others than human beings. Humans’ very survival is conditioned by the existence of the natural environment and the living things within it. One aspect of this interaction is the central and inescapable role played by human culture in defining the human-nature relationship. This book emphasises that environmental conservation is a matter of moral and cultural ethics. It stresses the fact that existing environmental conservation methods need to accommodate traditional environmental knowledge and practices of different indigenous cultures in order to re-build and restore the bond between humans and nature.
