The Book and Its Audience
This is the fi rst ever scientifi c documentation of the faunal wealth of the Indian desert state—Rajasthan, covering the species diversity, distribution, and conservation status. A scholarly contribution to the fi eld of knowledge, this monumental work provides novel and vital information on the vertebrate faunal heritage of India’s largest state.
Broadly falling under the Indo-Malaya Ecozone, the three major biomes of Rajasthan include deserts and xeric shrublands; tropical and sub-tropical dry broad-leaf forests; and tropical and sub-tropical moist broadleaf forests. The ecoregions thus covered are North Western thorn scrub forests and the Thar Desert; Khathiar- Gir dry deciduous forests and the Upper Gangetic Plains moist deciduous forests, respectively.
Contrary to popular belief, the well-known Thar or Great Indian Desert occupies only a part of the state. In fact, for the convenience of study, Rajasthan can be seen as diagonally divided by Aravalli mountain ranges into arid and semiarid regions. The latter has a spectacular variety of highly diversifi ed and unique yet fragile eco-systems comprising lush green fi elds, marshes, grasslands, rocky patches and hilly terrains, dense forests, the southern plateau, freshwater wetlands, and salt lakes.
Apart from the fl oral richness, the faunal abundance from fi shes to mammals including the fl agship and threatened species namely tiger, leopard, great Indian bustard and lesser fl orican, White-naped Tit, raptors, Demoiselle and Sarus Crane, chelones, bats, wild ungulates, small cats, bear, wolf, Smooth-coated Indian Otter, Spiny-tailed Lizard, Gaint Flying Squirrel, Gharial and Gangetic River Dolphin described in more than 20 chapters penned by top-notch wildlife experts, research scholars, and academics, makes this volume more palatable and wholesome.
Chapters covering fossil records; conservation of biodiversity via the age-old public science of the desert; anthropological account of communities and tribes; Sociocultural, mythological, and historical aspects of faunal conservation and the fauna in retrospect (covered in Faunal Heritage of Rajasthan: General Background and Ecology of Vertebrates, Volume-1, B.K. Sharma et al. (eds.), Springer, 2013); wildlife trade; ecotourism; climate and other environmental factors like Indira Gandhi Nahar Pariyojna (IGNP) believed to have changed the ecological face of western Rajasthan; protected area network; tiger reintroduction experiment; and

community conservation are key attractions. The world famous heronry, tiger reserves, wildlife sanctuaries and some threat-ridden biodiversity rich areas shall certainly draw the attention of readers from around the world.
The last chapter highlighting issues and insights on conservation and manage-ment, initiatives, and gaps in research would help researchers from India and abroad to identify potential areas of future collaborative work. The strategies suggested herein can be a powerful tool for international conservational advocacy.
The elaborate content supported by rare photographs and paintings has implica-tions for faunal ecology in similar habitats elsewhere on the Earth. Through this mammoth volume, editors have dearly embraced the state of Rajasthan as a whole with particular emphasis on the vertebrate faunal diversity and key aspects of its conservation management.
The original manuscript initially conceived and titled as Faunal Heritage of Rajasthan, India: Ecology and Conservation of Vertebrates was a bit too large to be presented as a single volume and so the same was split into two separate books/volumes entitled Faunal Heritage of Rajasthan, India: General Background and Ecology of Vertebrates , Volume-1 and Faunal Heritage of Rajasthan, India: Conservation and Management of Vertebrates , Volume-2. It is strongly advised that the two books are read and consulted in conjunction with one another rather a set of two closely related books to have an overall picture of the vertebrate faunal abun-dance of Rajasthan and its conservation management.
