First biosphere reserve
By Aarti Dhar
NEW DELHI,
NOV. 26.
The first biosphere reserve in India is being developed as a World Peace Park in Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh. Formally inaugurated recently, the reserve is named after the sixth Dalai Lama, Tsanyang Gyatso, who was born here.
The project has been commissioned by the Arunachal Pradesh Government and is being developed by Future Generations, a U.S.-based community development organisation. The project is unique as it does not involve displacement of population and the conservation efforts would be through the participation of the local community. It will integrate the conservation and socio-economic development in a single, holistic master plan. Unlike the national parks, a biosphere reserve has a core zone, which is the actual protected area, a buffer zone where limited human activity takes place and a development zone where there is human habitation.
