The contents mentioned in ‘Fauna of Kawal Tiger Reserve’ and ‘Fauna of Amrabad Tiger Reserve’ were an impetus for the Telangana forest department to initiate measures towards the conservation of forest animals in Telangana, she said.

The Minister further said that the book ‘Freshwater Fishes of River Godavari’ would be very useful to study the endangered fish species, besides learning about the methods of aquaculture.
