Plate 1.1 The site for the proposed LPG Recovery Plant at Usar.
Plate 2.1 Major part of the study area is under cultivation.
Plate 3.1 Protected Forest of Bherse area falling in the core zone of the study area.
Plate 3.2 Protected Forests of Ambepur (above) and Vave (below) in the middle zone are largely plantations.
Plate 3.3 The forested areas in the outer zone are generally confined to hilly tracts.
Plate 3.4 Avian diversity is fairly well represented in the study area.
Plate 3.5 The western side of the project area falling in segments VI and VII largely comprise of coastal and maritime habitats.
Plate 3.6 The backwaters of Akshi creek forms an important tidal habitat for avian species in the outer zone of the study area.
Plate 3.7 Patches of mangroves near Talvali (above) and Revdanda (below) in the outer zone of the study area.
Plate 3.8 Amba (above) and Kundalika (below) are the only two major rivers in the study area.
Plate 3.9 Some of the perennial water bodies in the outer zone support avian species.
Plate 3.10 The coastal areas in the outer zone offer wetland habitat for avian species.
Plate 4.1 Exploitation of forests and the development projects in the past have greatly reduced the wildlife potential of the terrestrial habitats.
Plate 4.2 The degradation of the riverine habitats of Amba and Kundalika is an outcome of several ongoing development activities.
Plate 4.3 Biotic pressures offer far more serious threats to wildlife values in the outer zone.
