Abstract
Introduction: The northern part of West Bengal called North Bengal lies at the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas and is comprised of mountainous terrain, Terai and Dooars (sub-Himalayan regions), rivers in alluvial plains, and other forested areas. Because of their distinctive physical characteristics, these areas are very rich in both terrestrial and freshwater biodiversity, while the highly produced Ganges-Brahmaputra delta in South Bengal has been transformed through tidal actions into the largest contiguous mangrove forest in the world, known as the Sundarbans. Objective: To identify the natural and ecological resources of North Bengal with its ecological significance and to assess significant ecological gaps between North Bengal and South Bengal. Method and Materials: This descriptive and analytical study describes the regionally Ecological Comparison of West Bengal. The comparative regional analysis framework for a systematic evaluation of North and South Bengal has been developed to contrast their respective natural and Ecological Resources. Results and Discussion: The North Bengal region is distinguished from the Eastern Himalayas by a combination of geographical characteristics and its unique forest and wildlife resources with the South Bengal. Conclusion: By comparing the Unique Endowments of North Bengal against those of South Bengal this has helped to illustrate the overall intrastate Ecological Diversity as well as support the argument for Differentiated Environmental Governance, which would allow for a more Creative Approach to the Management of West Bengal's Environment.
