The term "biodiversity" or "biological diversity" describes the variety of living beings on Earth encompassing microorganisms, plants, animals, and ecosystems, such as coral reefs, forests, and deserts. In fact, it also represents a wealth of biological resources available to us. Today, instead of exploring and preserving its unmapped biodiversity, mankind has gone away from mother nature, conquering the domain through relentless exploitation. This has resulted in an ecological imbalance and thereby has posed serious threat to biodiversity. Declining biodiversity is, therefore, a concern for countless reasons. Biodiversity’s wealth of genetic information can be conserved by storing biologi...
India is endowed with a great wealth of biological diversity in its forests, glaciers, reviers, reservoirs, lakes, coastal areas and wetlands but in the recent years, following massive anthropogenic development there has been rapid industrialization in the country, resulting in the degreadation of the environment and loss of much biodiversity, consequent upon fragmentation of the habitat. There is an urgent need to conserve it, other wise posterity will not forgive us.
The Symposium on high salinity tolerant plants, held at the University of Al Ain in December 1990, dealt primarily with plants tolerating salinity levels exceeding that of ocean water and which at the same time are promising for utilization in agriculture or forestry. These plants could be very useful for a country like the UAE where fresh water resources are very scarce and the groundwater available at some places is already very salty. More than 60 million woody trees/shrubs have been planted so far and more are planned for the inland plains underlain with brackish groundwater. These species were no solution for the widely barren shoreline of the UAE. Here mangrove species were of potentia...

Preface: There are lots of brilliant edited books, text books, hand books and reference books available on Elementary Parasitology, Applied Parasitology, Medical Parasitology, Helminthology as well as there are many dedicated monographs on particular topics. However, the conceptualized edited book dedicated to under graduate medical students post graduate bioscience students and research scholars for the applicability during their dissertation or pre-doctoral programs related to integrated approaches of all the aforesaid areas lacking so far. Therefore, the scarcity of books focused on the integrated aspects of Parasitic, helminthes and zoonotic diseases of different origins in global perspe...
