Islands in Flux: The Andaman and Nicobar Story by Pankaj Sekhsaria documents the myriad threats to indigenous tribes and forest resources in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It is a compilation of Sekhsaria’s writings and illustrations on issues and developments in the Islands. The author has spent 25 years researching on the human aspect of the situation.
The book says that the occurrence of natural disasters in the Islands is always uncalled for and a more reasonable planning approach to the Islands is even more important given their volatile nature. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are located in the seismic zone, an earthquake-prone area, and the December 2004 tsunami had a devastating impact on them.
As a member of environmental action group Kalpavriksh and the ‘Andaman and Nicobar Islands Environment Team’, he conducted a six-month project to study the biodiversity and residents of the island chain. This is his second book based on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the first being The Last Wave, in which he narrated the challenges faced by the Islands today.
