Data pertaining to distribution of fowls was collected from July, 2013 to June, 2015.  Study was carried out using the Random survey and line transects methods. Presence of GJF was found within 19 of  34 forest blocks of the sanctuary, while RSF inhabits in 10 blocks only. They were found in blocks with denser vegetation and thorny shrubs with undulating rocky terrain.<#LINE#>Ali Salim and Ripley S.

However, since REDD+ is a highly contextual concept, national design and implementation strategies are taking different forms and approaches. Taking Kenya as a case, this study examined the influence of legacy forest governance on national REDD+ design by developing and using the Forest Governance – REDD+ Analytical Framework. The resultant findings show that legacy forest governance regimes and issues have had a significant influence on national REDD+ design, with the focus being on solving the existing forest governance issues before adopting alternative options altogether. This study thus contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the emerging nature of national REDD+ design, and the subsequent influence of legacy forest governance on its design.<#LINE#>Corbera E. and Schroeder H.

The surviving water body is exploited due to domestic sewage prevailed by human activities. An immediate action is required to assess Physico-chemical parameters like Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Phosphate, Calcium Hardness, Temperature, Free CO2, pH, Sulphate, Total Solids (TS), Total Alkalinity (TA), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Carbonates, The resulted data is considered to find a conclusion about Physico-chemical parameters and the quality of water in Bogolu Cheruvu (Tank). Furthermore, the results revealed the urgency and immediate action required to restore the biological and Physico-chemical sources with feasible and immediate renovation and managing approaches in order to preserve, preserve, conserve and to avoid the natural disparity and disruption in hydro-biological and hydro-geo-chemical cycles, which affects the food web and food chain  of the important pond ecosystem severely.<#LINE#>Singh M.

The most noteworthy grouping of Fe were found all through the stream and took after by Cu>Zn>Cr>Pb>Ni>Mn>Cd and the variation of metals in Gadilam River because of the including of modern wastage and un-characterized anthropogenic impacts. The consolidated and aggregate outcomes are a genuine danger to the whole estuarine environment.<#LINE#>Bakare A.A., Lateef A., Amuda O.S. and Afolabi R.O.

That is human weight divided by their height squared. BMI has several categories. Generally, higher BMI root to higher risk. It is the best unit to know the healthy status of our body. The BMI level is categorized into several levels as: Underweight, Normal weight, Overweight, and obese. But it is not applicable for pregnant women and breast feeding mother. Study was considering the food habits how effects in BMI of the people in Mannar district. This would reflect the people in coastal area in Sri Lanka. Using data collected over 3 month from randomly selected 1392 participants in different areas in Mannar district. Data was collected about their height, weight, food habits, cooking methods, health status and economic status too. Thereafter discuss how these were involved in the BMI level and the health status. Approximately one-third (35%) of the population was normal weight, but 22 % of the population had severely underweight, 11% was underweight, 22% was overweight, and 10% was identified as obese. Underweight and overweight BMI need more consideration.<#LINE#>Kitamura K., Nakamura K., Nishiwaki T., Ueno K. and Hasegawa M.

It is found in warm and humid tropical forest. The original colour of its flowers is purplish. But in field survey around the forest of Madhya Pradesh it was found that in the same forest some plants were bearing light yellowish coloured flower with very light shaded lip, whereas some were found in its original purplish shade. Through observations it can be concluded that changes in environmental condition along with other parameters could be a cause for such variation in its colour.<#LINE#>Peter F.

Unfortunately, this is arrived at by merely looking at the population against the availability of freshwater, giving the issue a demographic dimension alone. Other useful and perhaps indispensable parameters such as efficiency of allocation and use, level of technology and funding in the sector are simply ignored in the scarcity equation. This portrays population growth and physical endowment as the only factors responsible for the scarcity condition and such a perception may compromise sound policy making. The present article looks at the water resources of the country within the concept of water scarcity and audits the widely held belief of a physical water scarcity in the country. The article takes the position that the country suffers more from a ‘management scarcity’ which translates to a social resource scarcity implying a policy failure than a physical scarcity. An enabling environment, most importantly, a strong political will, is, of necessity, required to ensure water security. This appears not to be a matter of possibility but a matter of willingness and Singapore’s case, which is briefly discussed in this article, serves to elucidate.<#LINE#>Wolfe S. and Brooks D.B.

However, apart from target pests, non-target organisms are also exposed to such agrochemicals. Several such non-target organisms help in the proper functioning of the soil ecosystem. Among these, earthworms need a special mention on account of the important ecosystem functions which they provide. At the same time, as earthworms always remain in close contact with the soil, they are also highly exposed to the toxicities of applied chemicals. These chemicals have numerous biochemical, physiological and morphological consequences on these organisms. But during the application of pesticides, their effects on earthworms are completely overlooked. However, if an earthworm population breaks down in a particular soil ecosystem, it is difficult to develop it again. Through the present review the hazardous impact of some commonly used pesticides on earthworms have been study elucidated and documented. It was found that chemical pesticides have several harmful impacts on these organisms.<#LINE#>Mangala P., De Silva C.S., Pathiratne A. and Van Gestel C.A.M.
