About this product
Product Information
-Few books exist on the nature and wildlife of the Indian subcontinent -Axel Gomille is a noted German biologist, whose work has been published in magazines and featured on documentaries -Follows on from the successful and highly praised series Wild Africa and Blue Ice With over 1.2 billion people, India is the second most populated country in the world. With so many people, is there any space left for wildlife? Surprisingly, yes, and wild animals are a common sight, even in modern India. Of the world's thirty-seven species of wild cats, fourteen of them occur in India - more than in any other country. By comparison, the entire African continent only has ten different species of wild cat. In total, about 350 species of wild mammals, 540 species of reptiles, and 1,200 species of birds have been recorded in India. One reason for this remarkable diversity lies in the geography of the Indian subcontinent, since it is very large and encompasses a wide range of different habitats. The distance from the desert in the west, close to the Pakistani border, to the rainforests in the east, close to Myanmar, is around 3,000 kilometres, which is roughly as far as the distance from the tropical coasts of southern India to the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas in the north. This wide ranges of habitats and extreme landscapes ensures that the biodiversity of India is one of the riches on Earth. Although India's ecology and wildlife have suffered in the past from human encroachment, today some 150,000 square kilometres of wilderness is protected across numerous parks and sanctuaries, with the Wildlife Protection Act and Project Tiger playing a crucial role in conservation. Religion also continues to influence how people treat their environment: Hinduism as India's prevalent religion teaches respect for all forms of life, and some wild animals, such as monkeys, elephants or cobras, are even considered to be holy. India is home to the world's largest surviving populations of wild tigers and Indian rhinoceros. If the fate of these endangered species is to be decided somewhere, it will be in wild India.
