3. Introduction
Palm leaves dancing in the mild breeze, powder white beaches,
the sound of waves breaking on a coral reef, lush, green rain
forests and chirping rare birds-this is what the Andaman and
Nicobar Islands essentially are. An archipelago of islands, islets
and rocks, this Union Territory of India is home to some of the
oldest tribes in the country. Though facilities for trekking,
diving and snorkelling are available here, the best way to enjoy
a trip to these islands is simply relax by the sea.
Flora and Fauna
The canopied rain forests of the islands harbor 3,000 species of plants
including mangroves, epiphytes (130 ferns, 100 orchids), palms,
woody climbers, timbers (teak, mahogany, Andaman paduk) and a
wide variety of tropical fruits. Marine fauna is diverse including a
wide variety of tropical fish and coral. Considering the diversity and
uniqueness of fauna and flora and the fragile nature of the eco-
system here, 96 sanctuaries spread over
4. People
Due to consistent emphasis of the government on progress and its
encouragement to the mainlanders to settle there has resulted in the local
tribes becoming a minority group in their own land. The indigenous tribes
are distinguished in two groups: the Onge, Sentinelese, Jarawa and
Andamanese of Negroid descent living on the Andaman Islands and the
Shompen and Nicobarese of Mongoloid descent living in the Nicobar Islands.
Most of the tribes are on the verge of extinction. This sad destiny will most
likely hit the Andamanese tribe first since their number is as low as thirty.
The Sentinelese is the least studied tribe still living in isolation on the North
Sentinel Island. Their number is estimated at 250. Outsiders attempting to
make contact with them are driven away with bows and arrows. They
continue to maintain a unique lifestyle living in harmony with nature just as
they have done for thousands of years.
Arts and Crafts
The main crafts of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands include shell and exotic woods
crafted for the tourists, palm mats, and beautiful natural shells. Due to the fear of
over exploitation of the Islands' natural resources, trade of some products .
5. Climate
The islands have a tropical climate. There is medium to heavy rain
during the monsoon, in the months from May to mid September and
November to mid December. There is no extreme climate except rains
and tropical storms in late summer often cause heavy damage
Industry
The Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands has a vast forest
resource base with 7,171 sq km of the total area of island covered by
forests. A large variety of timber is found in the Andaman group of
islands. The Islands have reported the occurrence of diatomaceous
earth, gold, limestone, nickel, selenite and sulphur. The Oil And Natural
Gas Commission is continuing the exploration for oil and gas there. The
Union Territory has a number of small scale, village and handicrafts
units. The number of export-oriented units is also increasing in the
agro-processing sectors. The Andaman and Nicobar Integrated
Development Corporation has made its presence felt in civil supplies,
tourism, fisheries, industries, and industrial financing activities.
