#islandsinflux #andaman #nicobar

And here is a short blurb on the what the book is all about:
'Islands in Flux', a compilation of writings on key issues and developments in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands over the last two decades, is Pankaj Sekhsaria’s new book on the islands. Written by one of the islands’ best known and most consistent chroniclers of contemporary issues here, it features information, insight and perspective related to the environment, wildlife conservation, development and the island’s indigenous communities. The book provides an important account that is relevant both for the present and the future of these beautiful and fragile but also very volatile island chain. It is both a map of the region as well as a framework for the way forward, and essential reading for anyone who cares about the islands and indeed, the future of our world.

"Anyone who cares about these magical islands and their enticements...will find this volume to be highly readable and exceptionally informative" - Madhusree Mukerjee

‘Pankaj Sekhsaria has been visiting, researching, photographing and writing about the
Andaman and Nicobar Islands for decades. Anyone who cares about the magical islands will find this volume to be both highly readable and exceptionally informative.’
- Madhusree Mukerjee, journalist, author and activist

‘Pankaj joined our Andaman and Nicobar Islands Environment Team (ANET) expedition to
remote South Sentinel Island in the late 1990s, and I have a feeling that it was this trip which
started Pankaj’s obsession with these wonderful islands. This collection of nearly twenty years of his writings tells the sometimes disturbing story of how we are treating our fragile islands.’
- Romulus Whitaker , founder, ANET
