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.

Greater Panna Landscape Council Objectives

·      The aim of the GPLC is to achieve a “win-win” situation by integrating conservation with the development process, considering diverse stakes and taking a balanced approach.

·      The objectives of the council are to improve habitat, protection, and management for flagship species like tigers, vultures, and gharials in the landscape, consolidate the landscape for overall biodiversity conservation and promote the well-being of forest-dependent communities.

·      The council also aims to provide species-specific and site-specific monitoring strategies under integrated landscape management and incorporate feedback loops and adaptive management options.
