Thisedited volume of papers is an attempt to collate information from work in both countries that would further strengthen our understanding on the interlinkages between ilish conservation, related livelihoods, and water management issues in the Ganga- Brahmaputra-Meghna region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommercially the ilish (Tenualosa ilisha) is one of the most important fisheries in the Bengal delta. Despite the ilish’s importance to the economy, over five million fisherfolk who are directly or indirectly responsible for the fish to be on our plate, continue to live impoverished lives on the margins of the society. Most importantly voices of these communities are generally absent in the policy narratives for ilish management in the region. Drawing from cross learning and knowledge of Bangladeshi and Indian scholars and practitioners, this edited volume aims to provide a narrative of the efforts ongoing in both countries to reconcile ilish conservation with the fishers’ livelihood concerns. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 78.3752px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.6006%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 47.9553%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eAF Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.6006%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003ePublication Date\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 47.9553%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e2018\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.6006%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eNumber of Pages\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 47.9553%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e130\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.6006%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 47.9553%; height: 19.5938px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e9789332704701\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bushra Nishat‚ Ganesh Pangare ‚ Sushmita Mandal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ ENG- English \/ bonds","offer_id":51204384391489,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/9067\/5009\/files\/ConservingIlish_SecuringLivelihoods_front.png?v=1765539131","url":"https:\/\/www.academicfoundation.com\/products\/tibet-s-relations-with-the-himalaya-copy-2","provider":"Academic Foundation | AF Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
