1. PREFACE
Back to

The Centre for Ecological Sciences was established at the Indian Institute of Science in 1982. The Centre has since established several active research programmes in Basic and Applied Ecology. The Centre has four faculty, 12 research students and about 20 technical staff. Behaviour and Sociobiology, Conservation Biology, Biodiversity and Forest Dynamics, Ecodevelopment, Environmental History, Environmental Policy and Human Ecology have been the main themes of the research work carried out by the Centre.

On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the Centre for Ecological Sciences, I am happy to present this report which provides a glimpse of our research, teaching and extension activities as well as of our facilities. The Centre has published 192 technical research papers which are listed in this report and in more detail, with abstracts, in a separate report entitled Scientific Publications 1983-1993. For any additional information, please contact the Chairman at the address given below.
