Economic & Political WeeklySummary: Other effective area-based conservation measures aim to promote in situ conservation of habitats outside of protected areas and can include a range of ecosystems such as forests, wetlands, and agricultural lands with significant biodiversity. The context, opportunities, and challenges of OECMs in India are explored, particularly their potential to support community-led conservation within the current legal context. The contradictions brought about by the claim that over 20% of India’s geographic area is currently under protected areas, by classifying large expanses of India’s different categories of forests and wetlands as protected areas, are examined. – Reproduced
