Folklore--India--Sikkim. Mythology--India--Sikkim. Ethnozoology--India--Sikkim.0300Ethno-herpetology studies the relationship between people and reptiles and amphibians and is derived from ethnic- - relating to people and culture - and herpetology - the study of reptiles and amphibians. Sikkim being a melting pot of ethnic cultures as well as astounding biodiversity, provides exceptional motivation for the exploration of its ethno-herpetology. Since biological and ethnic diversity is often geography-specific, studying this in small geographical regions makes sense, as knowledge of ethno-herpetology varies extraordinarily across geographic boundaries. This book has been envisaged to capture Sikkim's immense and vibrant ethno-herpetology. It is expected to bring a new understanding of this state's rich bio-cultural heritage and provide new details and directions to researchers of ethnobiology, zoology, ecology, anthropology, human ecology, and culture. It sincerely hopes to generate greater interest in Sikkim, Ethno-herpetology, and herpetofauna. It has the potential to reward integration with tourism and traditional knowledge.01000302https://book.shhalaj.com/images/covers/9788195668946.jpg01Shhalaj Publishing HouseIN0401Shhalaj Publishing House2002349.00INRWORLD
