This report provides an illustration of the benefits of an interdisciplinary approach to natural to natural resource management in an area such as Parc National du Banc d'Arguin. Detailed annexes expand upon the complementary elements of a research plan which has been designed to support management initiatives.

The first in a series of directories on the protected area systems of the Indomalayan Realm, this volume covers Bangladesh, India; Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Each of the protected area systems is described under a series of standard headings, supported by lists of sites in each country, with 100 major sites in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka described in more detail.

This publication is a positive step in building up public awareness about an area of great diversity but beset with the problems of the vulnerability of small islands and the limited resources of micro-nations.
