Challenges and Knowledge Gaps in Ecological Sciences

As a science, the subject of ecology is relatively young, although India’s ecological concerns are ischolar_mained deep in our civilization as evidenced in Vedic literature. In the modern context, the subject has grown enormously and many potential areas have been identified. However, there are still a number of challenges and knowledge gaps. A symposium was organized to address these issues which was attended by about 250 delegates from all over the country.
