Iconic Indian species and its biotope - tiger in the jungle, elephant in the Himalayas, lion in the desert - exploring the interactions between fauna, flora, and human populations in these diverse environments.

Each chapter is named after an iconic species (Bengal tiger, Asian elephant, Asian lion) of India's remaining wildlife. However each also draws a more general picture of a type of biotope in another corner of the Indian subcontinent (jungle, Himalayas, desert). Interaction involves fauna, flora and human population.—KGF Vissers
