Therefore, ecological protection and sustainable development leads to economically viable growth by minimizing the percentage poverty stricken population and socially equitable development and protection of the environment for attaining sustainable development. It also aims to achieve a balance of growth and development in rural and urban areas with a lens on equity in employment, fundamental services, food security, education, health care, residence, social overheads like roads, schools, hospitals and parks, and better transportation with ecological protection. In developing countries like India, sustainable development will be extremely significant in effective management of urban basic services like, water supply management of waste, management of energy and maintaining equalities in all pockets. The programmes and policies related to environmental sustainability employed by governments of developing countries functioned quite effectively, to protect biodiversity reduce land degradation, conserve and manage wetland and maintain air and water quality standards by developing a huge network of protected areas extended to various areas of the states. The primordial objective of this book is to initiate an informed debate on key issues which influence the national and international aims of sustainable growth and development keeping in view the safeguards of environment. Successful bringing out of the present volume to begin discussions crucially depends on painstaking endeavours made by all the contributors of the book. (jacket).
