PREFACE
The term 'Biodiversity' though known earlier, during the Rio Summit in 1992 it earned the
center stage of attention and today it is one of the foremost areas of concern all over the world
and has become a household nomenclature. The assessment of Biodiversity is an important
component of strategic planning process for any conservation and management of ecosystem.
The process of assessment can be a two dimensional exercise, i.e. identifying areas of maximum
diversity within distinctive ecosystems and to provide data for species diversity and related
information. The starting point for any such venture should be literature search for getting
groupwise information down to the species level.
The State of West Bengal in India has been endowed with rich biodiversity. Data on the state's
biodiveJ;sity have been generated both qualitatively and quantitatively. However this information
is lying in a scattered manner and not readily available to the policy makers and managers of
biodiversity. The present publication is therefore an attempt to compile all available information
on the State's biodiversity. It is expected that information given in this document will provide
not only the benchmark data but also fill up the gaps. Thus, it may serve as an important tool for
planning~ so that future development programmes need not be at the cost of our biological
diversity, but at the same time to identify and use these biological resources on a sustainable basis.
The authors express their grateful thanks to the Department of Environment, Government of
West Bengal for funding this project, to Dr. S. Sanjappa, Director and Scientists of Botanical
Survey of India for their keen interest and sincere help in preparation of the report by providing
and checking the informations relating to the floral diversity in the State. They are also extremely
grateful to Shri Pranabesh Sanyal, Former Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests,
Dr. Dhrubajyoti Ghosh and Sri Debal Roy, Senior Environment Officers, Department of
Environment, Government of West Bengal for their sincere help and valuable suggestions during
the preparation of this report.
They gratefully acknowledge the help extended by the Director, Zoological Survey of India.
They are also deeply indebted to the officers and staffs in Zoological Survey of India for assistance
and suggestions throughout the course of this project. Special thanks are due to Dr. J.K. De,
Scientist-D, Zoological Survey of India for his constant help in processing the scientific data.
Sincere thanks are also due to Professor S.C. Santra, University of Kalyani for pro\;ding
informations on flora of wetlands of West Bengal and to Dr. Sandeep Basak for his help in
preparation of a part of floral list in the preparatory stage and photographs provided by him.
Helps received from Dr. Sujit Kumar Chakraborty, former Joint Director, Zoological Suryey
of India in the form of valuable suggestions and inputs towards the improvement of the document
is thankfully acknowledged. They are highly obliged to Dr. Tushar Mukherjee, Reader, Presidency
University, Kolkata for providing valuable information.

It has already been stated that owing to
favourable agroclimatic condition, West Bengal
has always been one of the most populated
states of the country. Further, the problem of
.population explosion has been aggravated due
to huge immigration from East Pakistan, now

that of the country as a whole, but that has been
compensated by lower death rate and infant
