Keoladeo National Park: A Managerial Approach to a Unique Protected Area cum World Heritage Site of India

Keoladeo National Park, a unique protected area in India, faces significant managerial challenges due to its triple designation as a World Heritage Site, Ramsar Wetland, and national park. A primary issue highlighted is the persistent difficulty in maintaining water levels, crucial for the park's ecological significance as a breeding ground for migratory birds along the Central Asian Flyway. The study, conducted by Indian Forest Service officers with direct managerial experience, explores interventions to address this challenge, including strategies to combat water scarcity and invasive species while managing anthropogenic pressures. The park's perimeter-walled boundary further complicates conservation efforts, necessitating innovative approaches to preserve its unique biodiversity.
