Reviews
""Conservation and Development in India is an immensely valuable contribution to debates about the future of wildlife, poverty and sustainable development. India is at a crossroads: a vast democracy with a rapidly growing and industrialising economy, and many people locked in chronic poverty. Its biodiversity is remarkable, and nature is everywhere under pressure. The choices that are made about nature, society and economy are important both within India itself and for the model they offer to the wider industrialising world."" - Bill Adams, Moran Professor of Conservation and Development, Department of Geography, University of Cambridge, UK ""This book is thought provoking and its principal topics are just as relevant to other parts of the world""- Antoinette Mannion, British Ecological Society Bulletin
