Abstract
Excessive exploitation of forest resources for timber and fishing is doing irreparable harm to the ecosystem. Among the activities that cause the maximum harm is that of collecting tiger prawn seeds. A K Raha, director, Sundarban Biosphere Reserve, says that some recent studies have found that in collecting one tiger prawn seed, a villager may end up destroying about 100 other fish seedlings, resulting in a massive decline in the populations of fish such as betki and parshe.
