BSP's Asia & Pacific Program Biodiversity Conservation Prioritization Project Testing alternatives for priority-setting in conservation planning in India The Biodiversity Conservation Prioritization Project (BCPP) supported the development and application of a state-of-the-art methodology for setting biodiversity conservation priorities in a pilot national priority-setting exercise in India. In the BCPP, BSP worked with an informal consortium of Indian NGOs and research institutions under the direction of a steering group, led by WWF-India, which included representatives from the participating NGOs, BSP, and government. The project steering group ensured that the process occured in a transparent and participatory manner and that its participatory priority-setting methodology could be applied in other countries to meet conservation requirements under the CBD. BCPP considered biological and social information about existing and proposed protected areas and forest reserves, as well as the coverage of medicinal plants and wild crop relatives of agricultural importance in and around protected areas and state forest lands. The project produced specific action plans for 50 local sites; analyzed the information from 8 focal states to recommend policy changes; and concluded with a national-level workshop to discuss and finalize its recommendations on priority geographic sites, priority species, and strategies for conservation. |
