Successful natural resource administration demands the well-exercised ability to deal with the interests of many actors--including the public and wildlife--in a balanced, constructive way. The authors of this book, recognized as experts in the management of natural resources, discuss management with special emphasis on fish and other wildlife. Their approach to management development constantly searches for creative compromises that protect today's wildlife for future generations while maximizing present social and economic benefits. Their comprehensive treatment also includes a discussion of such topics as the interaction of human management of wildlife with natural regulation of wildlife; the need for sound research and development programs; the importance of public participation in the management of natural resources; and the political and administrative context in which resource management must take place.

Remote sensing and GIS with socio-economic data carry out the monitoring / planning the distribution of various objects and help us to prevent such disasters. Those have brought huge losses of the environment. This research estimates the natural resources of the study region and will be effective for evaluating natural resource mapping and their proper management for future utilization. Research work entails the maximum utilization of existing natural resources to reduce regional imbalances, promote sustainable development and at the same time ensure the protection of fragile eco-environment. Vulnerability and risk assessment have the aim to show the intensity and its distribution in the study region; of the susceptibility of environment. The results indicate that eco-environmental vulnerability changes have had a significant impact on sustainable development of a region. Where vulnerability is defined as a function of sensitivity, exposure and the state relative to a threshold of damage. The model is presented as a tool to help identify relative vulnerability and risk in order to prioritize actions and assess the vulnerability implications of management and policy decisions.

This comprehensive treatment of environmental impact assessment (EIA) provides an authoritative contemporary review of theory and practice over the past ten years. EIA is viewed as both science and art, reflecting the concern both with technical aspects of appraisal and the effects of EIA on the decision-making process. Adopted in many countries, with different degrees of enthusiasm, since its inception in the early 1970's, EIA is established as a major procedure for assessing the environmental implications of legislation, the implementation of policy and plans and the initiation of development projects. EIA is increasingly an essential part of environmental management
