Environmental degradation and economic decline (aggravating poverty) feed on each other, and the fate of the poor and the fate of the planet (earth) have become tightly entwined. Economic deprivation and environmental degradation thwarts all efforts towards sustainable development.

Mankind will perish if the protection of the environment does not become an integral part of all our development programs. We need to plan for development without destruction’ based on the ethical principle of socio-economic equality and ecological sustainability. Economic development and environmental management (restoration and improvement) programmes should go hand in hand

The book would be highly useful for students and researchers engaged in the study of environment. It would also be useful to government executives and NGOs concerned with environment and pollution problems. Since the laymen are deeply interested in clean environment, the book would be of great interest to them.
