The global climate change problem has finally entered the world's consciousness. While efforts to find a solution have increased momentum, international attention has focused primarily on the industrial and energy sectors. The forest, and land-use sector, however, remains one of the most significant untapped opportunities for carbon mitigation. The expiration of the Kyoto Protocol's first commitment period in 2012 presents an opportunity for the international community to put this sector back on the agenda.In this timely, wide-ranging volume, an international team of experts explain the links between climate change and forests, highlighting the potential utility of this sector within emerging climate policy frameworks and carbon markets. After framing forestry activities within the larger context of climate-change policy, the contributors analyze the operation and efficacy of market-based mechanisms for forest conservation and climate change. Drawing on experiences from around the world, the authors present concrete recommendations for policymakers, project developers, and market participants. They discuss sequestration rights in Chile, carbon offset programs in Australia and New Zealand, and emerging policy incentives at all levels of the U.S. government. The book also explores the different voluntary schemes for carbon crediting, provides an overview of best practices in carbon accounting, and presents tools for use in future sequestration and offset programs. It concludes with consideration of various incentive options for slowing deforestation and protecting the world's remaining forests.Climate Change and Forests provides a realistic view of the role that the forest and land-use sector can play in a post-Kyoto regime. It will serve as a practical reference manual for anyone concerned about climate policy, including the negotiators working to define a robust and enduring international framework for addressing climate change.

Class insecta is numerically the largest class of the largest phylum outnumbering the total number of all the other known species of the rest of the animal kingdom. The book presents an interesting account of the knowledge of Science of Entomology in ancient India as is evident from references in our scriptures. Man has been trying his level best to deal with the insect pest menace but has not yet been able to win the battle against these and they continue to dominate. The book gives a vivid account of the factors responsible for the dominance of insects. How intensification of agriculture has led to intensification of pest problem has been dealt with in detail. Insect pests of crops, stored grain and household pests and their latest methods of management have been dealt with adequately. While on the one hand, a number of insects play definite negative role in human welfare, there are also insects which play vital positive role by supplying us useful products, increasing crop production through cross-pollination, acting as enemies of harmful insects and weeds, forming a part of human diet and medicine and are helpful to man in many other ways. All these have been dealt with adequately and can be considered as special features of this book, not available elsewhere in a consolidated form.
