A Review On Ecorestoration and Dryland Intervention with Nano-Technology : A Review

Abstract

The major objective for this Technology is to evolve models of sustainable development in the coastal regions through mutually reinforcing linkages among the livelihood security of the rural communities with ecological security of the coastal regions. Both Marine and Land-based alternative livelihoods were to be developed to reduce overexploitation of the already degraded coastal bio-resources and thereby reconcile development with conservation in a harmonious and sustainable manner. These programmes focus on developing appropriate technological interventions in costal regions both representing coastal wetland ecosystems and dryland ecosystems. The interventions in the coastal estuarine system were taken up in the coastal regions of TamilNadu and Puducherry. These programmes were also strengthened during the aftermath of Tsunami in providing ecological, economic and knowledge connectivity in the regions.
