NatHistory-India Mailing List

List Information

Description:	Discussions on Natural History of South Asia

About the List

A mailing list called NatHistory-India has been created for discussions on the Natural History of South Asia. This includes the geographic area that roughly falls under the political boundaries of India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Maldives.

The primary purpose of this list is to provide a forum for discussions on the biogeography, distribution, status, behavior, ecology, conservation, taxonomy of all biological taxa in the Indian subcontinent - birds, mammals, insects, herps, plants etc.

Discussion is un-moderated and the topics include:

Topics of General Interest

Birdwatching
National parks and wildlife sanctuary information
Trip reports
News articles
Books
Travel tips for specific sites

Topics for Researchers

Research aids
Opportunities
Sites
Experiences
Publications

By accommodating the above topics, it is hoped that the list will be of some use both as a research tool, as well as a medium for informal exchange between people who share an interest in the natural history of South Asia at any level.

Topics dealing with environmental issues from the point of view of economy, development, society, politics, law are well suited for another list - S-ASIA-ENVIRON at Columbia University. While some overlap between the two lists may be inevitable, attempts should be made to keep this at a minimum.
