With the requirement of fundamentals of Ecology and biome, the topic is to be prepared on contemporary basis. This newly added part of Paper I in Prelims can be well prepared with support of Magazines like TERRA GREEN and DOWN TO EARTH.

The nature of both the contemporary heads i.e. BIODIVERSITY and CLIMATE CHANGE is similar. The approaches like TEEB (The Economies of Ecology and Biodiversity) and REDD (Reduction of Emission from deforestation and forest degradation) reveals that interlinks.

The preparation should focus on CoPs, both for climate and biodiversity along with IUCN, UNEP, UNESCO (MAB) in global perspective. For India, complete coverage of the state of Indian Forest and Environment is a Must along with the Network of Protected Area, Flagship programmes and the strategies incorporated by MoEF to induce sustainable development.
