Conclusion. Appendices. Glossary. Index. In the management of renewable resources forests have undeniably a vital role and today as never before their conservation is an urgency. In view of this dire necessity the series Man and forest tries to highlight the relevance of indigenous knowledge of various South Asian tribal communities in the sustainable management of forests/local resources more specially against the growing challenges of economic development vis a vis environmental hazards and a rapidly declining resource base. A scientific inquiry into indigenous knowledge is an effort to discover/rediscover the tribals traditional modes of production and conservation. For them it is the only source to cope with the problems of modernity affecting their lives and precarious environments. Forest Tribes of Orissa The Juang is the seventh monograph in the series Man and Forest and after the publication of an account of the forest world of the Dongaria Kondh in 2002 and the Kuttia Kondh in 2006. Being a tribal community in transition the authors have tried to document and thus safeguard its local traditional knowledge of conservation use and management of forests and natural resources. They give an account of how the Juang classify trees and other plants hills forests crops and animals. Their subsistence economy agricultural system social organization religious beliefs and other important socio cultural aspects of forest life have been extensively treated. The lifestyle of this tribal community is finally reflected on the background of forest policy and the impact it has on their livelihood. The present book is as most of the volumes in the series the outcome of nearly ten years research venture involving an inter disciplinary intercultural team of sociologists ethnobotanists and social anthropologists. 392 pp.…

Biodiversity, Natural Resources and Indigenous Knowledge. 5. Ethno-Ecological Classifications. 6. Ethno-Biological Uses. 7. Ecological Anthropology. 8. Indigenous People and Forest Management. Appendices. Bibliography. Index. Forests, a precious renewable resource, are habitats of many aborigines and treasure houses of a large number of flora and fauna. Any distortion to them imbalances the life of their inhabitants. Man and Forest series highlights the relevance of indigenous knowledge systems of various South Asian tribal communities in the sustainable management of local resources/forests. Here comes the importance of making a scientific enquiry into the application of indigenous tribal knowledge in rediscovering their methods of production, consumption and conservation, against the all-pervading impact of modernity and the ever-increasing demand for an unbridled use of natural resources. This monograph The Hill Bhuinya of Kendujhar is the eighth in the Man and Forest series and fourth in the Forest Tribes of Orissa: Lifestyle and Social Conditions of Selected Orissan Tribes. It helps in understanding how the Bhuinya perceive their ecosystem; how their sociocultural life is interwoven with the forests and other elements of their ecosystem; their management systems for upkeeping it; and the role their indigenous knowledge plays in their production, consumption and conservation practices, against the backdrop of a considerable depletion of biodiversity during the latter part of the twentieth century. This book is the result of a detailed study on the forest/hill-dwelling tribe of the Bhuinya of Bhuinyapirh in Banspal Block, Kendujhar District, Odisha since 1996 by a team of anthropologists, ethnosociologists, botanists and ethnobotanists. It was critically revised and analysed, using authentic methods due to changes in the state and central government policies, recently. (jacket).…

[0-19-854860-5] 1996. (Hardcover) Fine, no dust jacket. 420pp. Tables, charts, diagrams, illustrations, notes, indices. "The idea for this book arose from an attempt to comprehend the evolution and maintenance of long-term monogamy in geese and swans, species in which mates maintain contact all day, each season, often for life. Somehow these pair members stay together in large foraging flocks and during gruelling migrations. The stimulus behind the book was sheer intrigue about the possible link between the partners' team work and reproductive performance and why this lifestyle varies across species" - from the 1995 Preface by Jeffrey Black. Book about Monogamy. Contributors include Frank Adriaensen, Russell P. Balda, T. R. Birkhead, Stuart Bradley, Sharmila Choudhury, Andre Desrochers, Andre A. Dhondt, Steven D. Emslie, Bruno J.
