Overview of Biodiversity: Status, Trends and Threats
Develop a comprehensive sustainable financing strategy for PAs so as to plug gaps in PA funding.
Ensuring up to date, site specific and scientific management planning of PAs.
Linking the PAs into the larger landscapes and also integrating the livelihood aspirations of local
people in PA management is a challenging task.
Combating wildlife crime and illegal trade in wildlife continues to be a cause of concern.
Strengthening and consolidating existing traditional wildlife conservation/enforcement efforts,
habitat improvement practices, and infrastructure development requires concerted efforts.
Efforts for the protection of wildlife outside PAs, critically endangered species and habitats, and
initiating specific species/habitat recovery programmes needs to be strengthened.
More attention is required for rationalization of PA boundaries, final notification and settlement
of rights in areas of relocation of villages from crucial wildlife habitats, securing critical wildlife
habitats such as corridors, etc.
Eco-development programmes and landscape level interventions need to be invigorated.
