This book demonstrates how varying levels of human disturbance manifested through different management regimes influence composition, richness, diversity and abundance of key mammal, bird and plant species, even within ecologically similar habitats. Based on our results, we show the critical importance of the ‘wildlife preservation’ approach for effective biodiversity conservation. The study also provides examples of a practical application of rigorous methods of quantitative sampling of different plant and animal taxa as well as human influences, thus serving as a useful manual for protected area managers. Protected areas of various kinds have been established in India with the goal of arresting decline in, and to provide for, recovery of biodiversity and ecosystem services. A model that targets ‘wildlife preservation’ under state ownership is practiced across the country. However, forests in India are under intensive human pressure and varying levels of protection; therefore,protected areas may also experience open-access resource use, a model that is being aggressively advocated as a viable alternative to ‘preservationism’. We have evaluated the conservation efficacy of alternative forest management models by quantifying levels of biodiversity under varied levels of access, resource extraction and degree of state-sponsored protection in the Nagarahole forest landscape of southwestern India.
G. ViswanathaReddy is the Additional Principal Conservator of Forests and Chief Wildlife Warden, Department of Forest, Government of Rajasthan. He has more than 25 years of experience in protected area management and conservation of wildlife. He is also one of those rare park managers who is deeply interested and encouraging of research on wildlife.

He has over two decades of experience in implementing successful research and conservation programs in the Western Ghats. He has more than 100 scientific publications, and has served as an expert on a number of wildlife boards. His pioneering work on using camera trapsto monitor tiger population abundance has been adopted worldwide for a number of species, including jaguars, and nationally, for counting tigers within major source populations in the country. Dr. Karanth has also penned a number of popular articles aimed at making science and the complexities of wildlife conservation accessible to the layman. He serves as an editor on a number of scientific journals of international repute, and is a Fellow at the Indian Academy of Sciences.

Dr. Kumar has mentored and trained a number of amateur wildlife enthusiasts, a number of whom have gone on to embrace the field of wildlife conservation; some of them are working professionals in the field today. He has also trained a number of forest department staff, and interacted with park managers to a large extent, working towards integration of science and park management.
