The detailed buffer zone species of Flora and Fauna and the core zone species are given below: The present status of the ecology has been determined by study of secondary data sources such as publications of Zoological Survey of India, renowned authors, etc., study of maps and satellite images and visit to project site. From details survey of all the projects two schedule, I species Pavo cristatus (Indian Peafowl) and Varanus bengalensis (Indian Monitor Lizard) found in Project buffer zone. The details study of 3 Conservation Plan of Pavo cristatus (Indian Peafowl) and Varanus bengalensis (Indian Monitor Lizard) given below.
