Crop Diversity in Peril
L. Vedavalli‚ R. Rengalakshmi
Praise for this book
From the Foreword
Unlike Western Ghats, the Biodiversity of Eastern Ghats has not been studied and documented in a very intensive manner. This book is therefore a very important contribution towards conservation of biodiversity as well as ecological security in the Eastern Ghats. I am particularly grateful to Dr Vedavalli and Dr Rengalakshmi for filling our knowledge gap.
