In this issue thirty five papers are included and they deal with various sub-disciplines of conservation biology, ecotourism, mangrove ecology, climate impacts and environmental impact assessments with reference to sustainability of biodiversity. Reproductive ecology and allied aspects concerned with certain species such as Aegialitis rotundifolia. Impatiens frutiosa, Impatients leptura, Bruguiera cylindrica Sonneratia alba, Abroma Augusta, Cleome gynandra insect interactions with herbaceous plants, tree diversity in tropical deciduous forest at Lankamalla Hill ranges, flora and ecological health of sand dunes and beaches and mangrove cover of a rapidly developing coastal city have been presented. Papers dealing with different aspects such as seasonal variations and effect of temperature and salinity on B-carotene content in some seaweeds, butterfly diversity at a biodiversity park, honey foraging activity with reference urban plantations, eco-restoration, ecotourism ethno-climatology with climate change, impacts of chemical industries on biodiversity, climate change effects using Bardiya National Park in Nepal as a case study, wildlife crimes, farmers perceptions and adaptation to climate change in Ethiopia, case studies of tribes on sustain use of forest resources in Chhattisgarh, urban stress on natural systems, ethno-medicine from the context of conservation climate change as a public health threat and aspects relating Burmese Python and tortoises and turtles have been included with great clarity.
