Greater Panna Landscape Council (GPLC)
Greater Panna Landscape Council (GPLC)
·
The council was created due
to the Ken-Betwa Link Project (KBLP), which is the initial river
interlinking project under the National Perspective Plan (NPP).
·
The project will be a
game-changer for the Bundelkhand region, which faces recurrent droughts, by
improving socio-economic prosperity.
·
The Wildlife Institute of India (WII)
developed the Integrated Landscape Management Plan (ILMP) to conserve
wildlife and biodiversity in the Panna Tiger Reserve (PTR) and surrounding
areas as part of the KBLP project.
·
The GPLC was established to guarantee
the efficient and timely implementation of the ILMP.
