Do Protected Areas of India’s Western Ghats conserve fish diversity? Robin Kurian Abraham, R. Rajesh & Nachiket Kelkar Summary errestrial Protected Areas (PAs) designed to preserve charismatic species, have been recently challenged in their efficiency in conserving obscure species that are not often conservation priority. TIn this study in India’s Western Ghats, a biodiversity hotspot, we aimed to assess effectiveness of PAs in conserving freshwater fishes in the Ashambu Hills landscape in Kerala. We compared sites inside and outside PAs for fish species richness and identified covariates influencing them. We obtained a total of 60 species, including regional endemics, a potentially novel species and four range extensions. Higher numbers of fish species endemic to the Western Ghats were recorded in the mid-elevation zones of Protected Areas, than adjacent unprotected areas. The biased distribution of PAs towards higher altitudes and inaccessible localities may explain the greater endemism of hill stream fish species. Magnitude of threats to freshwater fish habitats was much higher in unprotected areas. But some threats were also present inside protected areas, clearly pointing to the lack of appropriate legislation, monitoring and enforcement for freshwater fish conservation. Despite being educated and aware of threats faced by freshwater systems, local people were overall passive to destructive, illegal practices such as dynamite- fishing and sand-mining. These issues prevailed in the human dominated landscapes outside PAs. Our study stresses the importance of PAs in conserving threatened and endemic hill-stream fishes of the Western Ghats. Effective conservation would require a landscape-level approach to freshwater fish conservation with fundamental changes in attitudes of all stakeholders and also changes in the existing legislation for conservation, along with strictly curbing any activities destructive to river ecology. It is of utmost importance to maintain intact freshwater habitats that exist in PAs. Introduction lobally, freshwater ecosystems are the most river conservation, restoration and management. Gseverely affected due to human development Water abstraction and pollution, degradation of and economic activities (Richter et al. 2003, freshwater habitats, overexploitation for food and Collen et al. 2008, Vörösmarty et al. 2010). The the aquarium trade, modification of flow regimes anthropogenic pressure on freshwater resources and sediment fluxes by dams and irrigation is extreme, and has led to critical endangerment projects, and introduced invasive species are the of freshwater biodiversity at both global and major threats to freshwater fishes today (Duncan regional scales (Allan & Flecker 1993, Richter et al. & Lockwood 2001, Cowx 2002, Almeida et al. 2002, 2003, Dudgeon et al. 2005).

Apart from critical hydrological services, services (Keith 2000, Saunders et al. 2002, Crivelli they are also highly important for biodiversity 2002, Abell et al. 2007, Suski & Cooke 2007). However, conservation, with a very high endemism of flora the means with which freshwater conservation and fauna (Myers et al. 2000).

The inherent inaccessibility relatively inaccessible landscapes and difficult of the landscape has been a major factor in the terrain, often at higher elevations (Joppa & Pfaff declaration and sustenance of these areas as PAs. 2009). Such PAs naturally would not represent the As with plants, invertebrates and vertebrates, longitudinal dimension of river systems in entirety freshwater fish diversity in the Western Ghats ranks (Nel et al. 2009). Therefore, existing PAs may not be high, with around 290 species and a high degree fully effective in protecting freshwater fish diversity of endemism (>45%) (Myers et al. 2000, Daniels across riverine landscapes (Maitland 1995, Keith 2002).

  • Understanding REPORT of the WESTERNGHATS ECOLOGY EXPERT PANEL
    Understanding REPORT OF THE WESTERNGHATS ECOLOGY EXPERT PANEL KERALA PERSPECTIVE KERALA STATE BIODIVERSITY BOARD Preface The Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel report and subsequent heritage tag accorded by UNESCO has brought cheers to environmental NGOs and local communities while creating apprehensions among some others. The Kerala State Biodiversity Board has taken an initiative to translate the report to a Kerala perspective so that the stakeholders are rightly informed. We need to realise that the whole ecosystem from Agasthyamala in the South to Parambikulam in the North along the Western Ghats in Kerala needs to be protected. The Western Ghats is a continuous entity and therefore all the 6 states should adopt a holistic approach to its preservation. The attempt by KSBB is in that direction so that the people of Kerala along with the political decision makers are sensitized to the need of Western Ghats protection for the survival of themselves. The Kerala-centric report now available in the website of KSBB is expected to evolve consensus of people from all walks of life towards environmental conservation and Green planning. Dr. Oommen V. Oommen (Chairman, KSBB) EDITORIAL Western Ghats is considered to be one of the eight hottest hot spots of biodiversity in the World and an ecologically sensitive area. The vegetation has reached its highest diversity towards the southern tip in Kerala with its high statured, rich tropical rain fores ts. But several factors have led to the disturbance of this delicate ecosystem and this has necessitated conservation of the Ghats and sustainable use of its resources. With this objective Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel was constituted by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) comprising of 14 members and chaired by Prof.

  • The Status of the Forest Rights Act (FRA) in Protected Areas of India a Draft Report Summary
    The Status of the Forest Rights Act (FRA) in Protected Areas of India A Draft Report Summary Background and Objectives of the study The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Rights) Act (more commonly referred to as the Forest Rights Act or FRA) was enacted in 2006 and came into force in 2008 with the drafting of its Rules. The Act aims at addressing the “historic injustice” that was meted out to the forest dwellers by recognising forest land, resources, and resource management and conservation rights of the forest dwelling communities. However, the implementation of the Act in general and especially in Protected Areas (PAs) has been negligible and tardy. The objective of this report is to enhance and contribute towards understanding the status of implementation of FRA in Protected Areas (PAs), particularly to assess: a) Extent to which Individual Forest Rights (IFRs) right to live in and cultivate, Community Forest Rights (CRs) or right to use, harvest and sell forest produce and Community Forest Resource (CFR) Rights or right to protect, regenerate, or conserve or manage forests within the customary boundary of a village (Section 3 (1)i of FRA); b) Extent to which have the provisions of co-existence as per Section 38V(4)ii of Wild Life Protection (Amendment) Act (WLPA) 2006 has been implemented. To what extent have communities been able to formulate strategies for wildlife protection under section 5 of FRA and drafted conservation and management plans as per Rule 4e. Extent to which these plans and strategies have been incorporated in the overall PA management plans; c) Extent to which the provisions related to relocation under the WLPA Section 38 V 5 (i to vi) and Section 4 (2) a to f of FRA have been implemented in PAs.
