About this book

A brief description and some keynote points:
The book aims to empower constituents of the Indian media, NGOs and the general public; through building
awareness about stark realities of critical Nature and Environment issues in India.
* Covers a wide ranges of topics - Sustainability, Biodiversity, Land, Water, Forest, Tiger and Wildlife, Law, Policies,
Governmental Issues, Climate Change.
* First of its kind in India and South Asia in English and Marathi language editions. Authentic and researched
content, supported by striking photos and carefully worked infographics, illustrations and maps.
* Offers the right perspective of Environmental issues to all.
* It aims to inculcate an Environmental approach in media persons of all streams, rather than labeling a few as environmental
journalists. Also includes a political manifesto of the Environmental movement – for the first time in India.
* Content also includes three companion topics - Women and Environment, EIA and Environmental movements and
mainstream politics in India.
* It includes a much needed glossary of 161 ecological terms and phrases required in daily working (meanings in Marathi for
Marathi edition).
* It is a pioneering capacity building tool. For mainstream journalists and reporters it will be as handy reference volume. An
inalienable part of their work table.
* Many NGOs with their own publications, activists and people who enjoy a presence in alternative media will also find it
useful.
* Fresh students of all media and communication streams all across the country is yet another segment this handbook aims to
reach. It will introduce them to the fundamentals of Environmental Journalism with emphasis on the Indian context - from
code of ethics for environmental journalists to investigative methods. It will also offer them the right perspective and
information about topics like reporting on Biodiversity, Wild life Journalism and True Sustainability.
* Students of courses of social work - M.S.W. or alike, from where the NGOs get their working cadre, may also find it as a
useful reference.

संतोष शिंत्रे यांनी एक सूक्ष्मजीवशास्त्रज्ञ म्हणून आपल्या कारकिर्दीची सुरुवात केली. पुढे ते पर्यावरण पत्रकारितेकडे वळले. त्यानंतर त्यांनी आपल्या अभ्यासाच्या विषयांची मांडणी कथात्म रूपात करायला सुरुवात केली आणि पर्यावरणकथा हा एक नवीनच प्रकार मराठीत सुरु झाला. पर्यावरण विषयातल्या अनेक सरकारी निर्णयांकडे धोरणांकडे चिकित्सक दृष्टीने बघून त्यावर अभ्यासपूर्ण आकडेवारीनिशी लिहिलेले संतुलित लेख हे त्यांचे वैशिष्ट्य आहे.
संतोष शिंत्रे यांचे कार्य अनेक क्षेत्रांना स्पर्श करणारे आहे. वैज्ञानिकांना संशोधन-लेखनासाठी मार्गदर्शन करणाऱ्या आज्ञावलीपासून ते लेखनमित्रसारख्या लेखनकोशापर्यंत; शेल सिल्व्हरस्टाईनच्या कवितांपासून ते ‘राजा शिवछत्रपती’, ‘छत्रपतींचे आरमार’, ‘सरिता कोष’ अशा अनुवादांपर्यंत तर चालू शतकातले जागतिक व भारतीय निसर्ग पर्यावरण यासारख्या माहितीपूर्ण ग्रंथापासून ते ‘पिंक हेडेड डक’ किंवा ‘मनेर मानुषेर इंद्रजाल’ अशा कथनात्मक लेखनापर्यंत त्यांचा संचार आहे.

Santosh Shintre began his career as a microbiologist. Later, he turned toward environmental journalism. After that, he started presenting the subjects of his research in a narrative form, and this gave rise to a completely new genre in Marathi called environmental storytelling. His hallmark is balanced writing that examines many government decisions and policies in the environmental field with a critical eye and presents them with well-researched data.

Santosh Shintre’s work spans multiple fields. From guiding scientists in research and writing through manuals, to creating writing resources like Lekhanmitra; from translating Shel Silverstein’s poetry to works like Raja Shivchhatrapati, Chhatrapatīnche Aarmar, and Sarita Kosh; from informative books on global and Indian nature and environment to narrative writings like Pink Headed Duck and Maner Manushech Indrajaal, his contributions cover a wide spectrum.
