Publisher: APH Publishing, 2001        ISBN: 8176482099,    9788176482097

Useful book for all those who deal with natural resource management. The discussions, tools, models and management prescriptions given in this book are very much useful for integrated approach while planning for PA management.

To keep abreast with theory and practice the authors have relied heavily on discussions with experts, inputs from PA residents and also banked on knowledge from the management experiences of atleast eight PAs of Madhya Pradesh.

The book provides a useful tool for computation of various economic indicators viz., NPV, BCR, biodiversity indices for flora and fauna of PAs.

Innumerable tables, boxes, charts, illustrations, photographs and a host of annexures together with an exhaustive list of glossary of technical terms would render this book as a useful and complete guide on the subject to academicians, researchers, PA managers and all those who are interested in planning and management of PAs.
