LUCKNOW: Gharial is a critically endangered animal today. The recent assessments indicate that not more than 200 breeding adults might be present in the country. MoEF, therefore, has proposed some serious conservation measures for gharials.
The national tri-state Chambal sanctuary management coordination committee has been formed to look into the conservation issues. The first meeting of the committee has took some serious decisions like developing a tri-state management plan for gharial in consultation with experts, local communities, state forest department and others.
The committee is a three tier de-centralised mechanism to look into entire gamut of issues from socio-economic to monitoring and research protocols. It has to devise an institutional framework to ensure proper coordination among all stakeholders and develop better coordination amongst three states and centre for concerted conservation initiatives with focus on involvement of local community.
