From the foreword by Dr. A.K. Ghosh: "A recent assessment of project tiger in India on the completion of first 20 years, clearly indicates that the area under conservation for project tiger provided an unique habitat for a series of faunal elements down the food chain. Of these most significant being the records of other threatened or endangered species which could find niches within tiger reserve areas besides a host of other invertebrates. The profiles of faunal resources of four of the prime tiger reserve areas of India presented in this volume would once again provide evidences of species diversity in each of these conservation area."
