Protected Area Network in India

India is one of the 17 mega diverse countries of the world. With only 2.4% of the
worlds land area, 16.7% of the worlds human population and 18% livestock, it
contributes about 8% of the known global biodiversity, however, putting enormous
demands on our natural resources. India is home to worlds largest wild tigers
population and has got unique assemblage of globally important endangered species
like Asiatic lion, Asian Elephant, One-horned Rhinoceros, Gangetic River Dolphin,
Snow Leopard, Kashmir Stag, Dugong, Gharial, Great Indian Bustard, Lion Tailed
Macaque etc.
Protected Area Network in India:
A National Board for Wildlife (NBWL), chaired by the Prime Minister of India provides for
policy framework for wildlife conservation in the country. The National Wildlife Action
Plan (2002-2016) was adopted in 2002, emphasizing the peoples participation and their
support for wildlife conservation. Indias conservation planning is based on the
philosophy of identifying and protecting representative wild habitats across all the
ecosystems. The Indian Constitution entails the subject of forests and wildlife in the
Concurrent list. The Federal Ministry acts as a guiding torch dealing with the policies
and planning on wildlife conservation, while the provincial Forest Departments are
vested with the responsibility of implementation of national policies and plans.
A network of 668 Protected Areas (PAs) has been established, extending over
1,61,221.57 sq. kms. (4.90% of total geographic area), comprising 102 National Parks,
515 Wildlife Sanctuaries, 47 Conservation Reserves and 4 Community Reserves. The
State/Union Territory wise details of PAs in the country with year of notification and area
is given at Annexure-I. 39 Tiger Reserves (Annexure-II) and 28 Elephant Reserves
(Annexure-III) have been designated for species specific management of tiger and
elephant habitats. UNESCO has designated 5 Protected Areas as World Heritage Sites.
As the ecosystems and species do not recognise political borders, the concept of Transboundary Protected Areas has been initiated for coordinated conservation of ecological
units and corridors with bilateral and/or multilateral cooperation of the neighbouring
nations. There are 4 categories of the Protected Areas viz, National Parks, Sanctuaries,
Conservation Reserves and Community Reserves.
Sanctuary is an area which is of adequate ecological, faunal, floral,
geomorphological, natural or zoological significance. The Sanctuary is declared for the
purpose of protecting, propagating or developing wildlife or its environment. Certain
rights of people living inside the Sanctuary could be permitted. Further, during the
settlement of claims, before finally notifying the Sanctuary, the Collector may, in
consultation with the Chief Wildlife Warden, allow the continuation of any right of any
person in or over any land within the limits of the Sanctuary.
National Park is an area having adequate ecological, faunal, floral,
geomorphological, natural or zoological significance. The National Park is declared for
the purpose of protecting, propagating or developing wildlife or its environment, like that
of a Sanctuary. The difference between a Sanctuary and a National Park mainly lies in
the vesting of rights of people living inside. Unlike a Sanctuary, where certain rights can

be allowed, in a National Park, no rights are allowed. No grazing of any livestock shall
also be permitted inside a National Park while in a Sanctuary, the Chief Wildlife Warden
may regulate, control or prohibit it. In addition, while any removal or exploitation of
wildlife or forest produce from a Sanctuary requires the recommendation of the State
Board for Wildlife, removal etc., from a National Park requires recommendation of the
National Board for Wildlife (However, as per orders of Honble Supreme Court dated 9th
May 2002 in Writ Petition (Civil) No. 337 of 1995, such removal/ exploitation from a
Sanctuary also requires recommendation of the Standing Committee of National Board
for Wildlife).
Conservation Reserves can be declared by the State Governments in any area
owned by the Government, particularly the areas adjacent to National Parks and
Sanctuaries and those areas which link one Protected Area with another. Such
declaration should be made after having consultations with the local communities.
Conservation Reserves are declared for the purpose of protecting landscapes,
seascapes, flora and fauna and their habitat. The rights of people living inside a
Conservation Reserve are not affected.
Community Reserves can be declared by the State Government in any private
or community land, not comprised within a National Park, Sanctuary or a Conservation
Reserve, where an individual or a community has volunteered to conserve wildlife and
its habitat. Community Reserves are declared for the purpose of protecting fauna, flora
and traditional or cultural conservation values and practices. As in the case of a
Conservation Reserve, the rights of people living inside a Community Reserve are not
affected.
Regulations/ laws relating to Protected Areas (PAs):
The PAs are constituted and governed under the provisions of the Wild Life
(Protection) Act, 1972, which has been amended from time to time, with the changing
ground realities concerning wildlife crime control and PAs management. Implementation
of this Act is further complemented by other Acts viz. Indian Forest Act, 1927, Forest
(Conservation) Act, 1980, Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and Biological Diversity
Act, 2002 and the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition
of Forest Rights) Act, 2006. The Wildlife Crime Control Bureau of the Central
Government supplements the efforts of provincial governments in wildlife crime control
through enforcement of CITES and control of wildlife crimes having cross-border, interstate and international ramifications. In order to strengthen and synergise global wildlife
conservation efforts, India is a party to major international conventions viz. Convention
on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild fauna and flora (CITES),
International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), International Convention for the
Regulation of Whaling, UNESCO-World Heritage Committee and Convention on
Migratory Species (CMS).
Main issues concerning the management of Protected Areas: Wildlife
conservation and management in India is currently facing a myriad of complex
challenges that are both ecological and social in nature. Issues such as habitat
loss/fragmentation, overuse of biomass resources in the context of biotic pressures,

increasing human-wildlife conflicts, livelihood dependence on forests and wildlife

resources, poaching and illegal trade in wildlife parts and products, need for maintaining
a broad base of public support for wildlife conservation exemplify and characterize the
contemporary wildlife conservation scenario in India. The government and the civil
society are taking several measures to address these issues. Improved synergies and
better coordination amongst the wide array of stakeholders are needed to meet the
challenges of conserving Indias diverse wilderness resources.
