Others are grouped under headings such as primates, birds reptiles etc. The section begins with chapters overviewing the state of the Indian environment and the diverse forest flora, and ends with an essay on the traditions of conservation in rural communities - a background for the National Parks and sanctuaries detailed in the second half of this guide. Couple this with hundreds of stunning photographs, detailed maps and all the travel tips visitors will need and you have the ultimate guide to Indian Wildlife.
