The concept of natural resource sustainability has taken on new importance in today's world, and community participation in the conservation of forest resources is essential for generating innovative sustainability solutions. Studying the many aspects of agroforestry in terms of natural resource conservation at temporal and spatial ecosystem levels is extremely important in the design of policies for sustainable development.

This new book looks at some of the major research topics important in sustainability and natural resource conservation, from traditional knowledge to environmental resources in forest settings.

It discusses the possibilities of agroforestry for biodiversity conservation and for nutritional security. It also addresses the implications of sustainability and natural resource conservation for improved livelihoods of local populations, such as the use of climate-resilient farming methods, silkworm-based agroforestry systems, and extraction of forest resources by indigenous populations. It also covers topics such as carbon sequestration in agroforestry systems, approaches to repairing salty and sodic soil through the use of halophytes, and features and role of lowland tropical forests of the Eastern Himalayas in connection to environment preservation.

Sustainable and Conservation Management of Environmental Resources in India brings together critical sustainability topics, including pollution, agroforestry, forest fire detection and monitoring, sericulture-based agroforestry, soil quality preservation and restoration, and remote sensing and machine learning for improved agriculture. This book will be of benefit to scholars, academicians, and researchers working in the areas of sustainability and environmental resources.
