About The Book

Although people are aware of importance of sustainable environment, they behave like ecologically illiterate citizen; so, mass awareness about the status of the eco-health right from the grass root level to the top ecoplanners is the crying need of the hour. A healthy environment forms the basis for the societies and their people if prospering and enjoying a descent level of development. Growing public awareness brought a halt to some of the destructive spiral environmental problems. It is a moral and ethical issue to try to avoid costly environmental mistakes in future. Only then our long cherished dream of establishing eco-socialism on this watery planet could come true. The health of environment is very important for our sustainable development. So, its management strategies are imperative, therefore, considering these two aspects, this book has been edited to decipher certain deep facts which are undeciphered hitherto. This book is a unique compilation of different recent research articles of eminent environmental biologists and ecoplanners from different parts of our country and the book will be a milestone in the field of environmental sciences because it will be helpful in opening a new vista in the field of environmental management strategy.
