Summary
This book presents a concise and interdisciplinary framework that integrates climate science with artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance climate risk prediction and decision-making. It begins by establishing a foundation in climate systems, data sources, and preprocessing techniques, while addressing uncertainties inherent in climate datasets. The discussion then advances to identifying climate change signals, including long-term trends, regime shifts, and extreme events, using both statistical and AI based approaches. The book combines classical statistical modelling—such as time series analysis and regression—with modern AI techniques, including machine learning, deep learning, and explainable AI, to improve the analysis and prediction of complex climate patterns. A key focus is on drought assessment, where traditional indices like SPI and SPEI are evaluated alongside emerging AI-driven indicators, followed by applications in drought monitoring, early warning systems, and forecasting. It further explores climate extremes such as heatwaves and floods through AI-supported risk assessment and vulnerability mapping, demonstrating scalability from regional to global applications. The book emphasizes practical implementation through AI-powered decision support systems for water management, agriculture, and disaster risk reduction, linking scientific insights with policy action. Looking ahead, it highlights future directions including climate digital twins, real-time intelligence, and ethical data governance. Overall, the book provides a compact yet impactful guide for leveraging AI in climate science to support resilient and informed environmental decision-making

Summary
This book is a collection of articles in the field of conservation genetics, population ecology, and medicinal properties of natural resources written by researchers, s cientists, and other researchers from universities and s cientific organisations all throughout the country. This book's main goal is to emphasise the need to integrate consideration of the conservation of natural resources in all the connected s pheres of the varied ecosystem, complex challenges of biodiversity in various forests and natural environments, mainstream issues and policy-making framework. This book discusses the impacts of synthetic polymeric wastes, i n digenous knowledge of medicinal plants, extending the s phere from carnivores to herbivores and its related dynamics of conservation. The diversity of the flora and fauna is hi ghlighted. We hope this conservation of natural resources book helps with the remarkable work that so many people are doing to help find constructive solutions at the interface of wildlife demography, genetics and medicinal uses of floral resources.

Summary
Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), the verdant campus comprises 359 acres located in the North-Eastern Vellore region of Tamil Nadu, India. VIT's greenery has a unique role in supporting the dynamic link between biodiversity enhancement, academic research, and engagement of students, faculty members and the general public. With a vision of Environmental Sustainability and aligned Policy and Strategy, the institute has made a commitment to mitigate climate change, ultimately protecting nature and natural resources. The VIT’s hotspot region is VIT Lake, which acts as a crucial water reservoir and helps to maintain the floral and faunal biodiversity in this ecosystem. A decade before, young birders of VIT Nature Club initiated an invitation of birds program to the VIT Lake, helping this ecosystem to regenerate naturally. Birds served as seed dispersal agents' acted as ambassadors for this landscape. The potential of this environment as a home for numerous birds and has been discovered and documented by Nature Club - VIT and Biodiversity Conservation Foundation (BCF INDIA). The lake ecosystem plays an influential factor to maintain the microclimate which attracts a greater number of land and water birds. Between 2016 and 2020, over 119 land (Terrestrial) and waterbird (Aquatic) species were documented in and around the lake and throughout the VIT. These bird communities belong to 16 orders and 46 birds’ families. Besra (Accipiter virgatus), a startling species of Accipitriformes, was an extensive first record in Vellore District. With this noteworthy discovery, long-term monitoring is advised to aid in the transition to a more sustainable ecology.

Summary
The book is about the birds found in the protected areas of Tamil Nadu state in the year 2018–2020. This book contains the details of the birds been recorded in Tamil Nadu during the synchronized census program in each protected area of the 13 selected regions. This book as a whole is a database of the birds found in the Tamil Nadu state, which will help the future research community to assess the health of the various regions and to take appropriate measures in protecting the ecosystem. The book is a pioneer work in India and also a model book to all the states of our country in conducting this work, which will help create a database for future researches. In this technologically developing world, where nature is been getting exploited, the bird’s population has to be monitored frequently to know the health and condition of the ecosystem. Without birds, nature cannot sustain for long and all other living creatures will die soon, like all living creatures in this world, whether small or big, depends on birds directly or indirectly for their living
