This study aimed to understand how rural communities are meeting their nutrition, livelihood, health, living space, and mobility requirements regarding the role of cooling. We selected three villages as case studies in Maharashtra, India and conducted household surveys, in-depth interviews of key informants, focus group discussions (FGDs), and social mapping building typology study. The objective was to assess the rural community cooling to propose a community cooling hub (CCH) framework that could be economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable for the three villages. Our study showed that agriculture, dairy, buildings (domestic and commercial), and healthcare require cooling intervention in the studied communities. Based on the needs assessment for cooling, we proposed a CCH framework to provide cooling solutions in an integrated system for rural contexts.

Its nocturnal behaviour makes difficult to study its population size in forest In current paper we have tried to estimate population through camera trap capture-recapture sampling method in tropical semi-evergreen forest of Periyar Tiger Reserve. Estimated population for mouse deer was 108±25.8 and density was 21±2.1 per sqkm in our intensive study area of 114 sqkm. Method used in current paper can help to explore mouse deer status in Indian landscape.

Tree squirrel commonly occupy nests to avoid predators and rear young (Setoguchi, 1991) and prefer upper canopy level of forest as it arboreal nature. In Indian jungles Ratufa indica is a major arboreal mammal species and very few literatures available on its behavioral aspects. Datta (1999) reported day time use of dray and predation attempts on Ratufa indica by crested hawk-eagle. Indian giant squirrel have tendency to build dray in dense forest with closed canopies, sites were along the annual river or area where sufficient moisture in summer (Kanoje, 2008). In present study we reported observation on dray building behavior and jumping success of Indian giant squirrel. Observation were conducted during study of All India Tiger Monitoring Project in Satpura Tiger Reserve (22 0 19' -22 0 30'N and 77 0 56' -78 0 20'E)...
