Detalles del proyecto
| Nombre | Integrating Riverine Wildlife Conservation with Fisheries and Water Management in India's Gangetic Pains |
| Descripción | In India’s waterscapes, freshwater species such as Ganges river dolphins, gharials, freshwater turtles, otters, and waterbirds face serious threats such as accidental entanglement in fishing nets, targeted hunting by fishers, and competitive interactions over fishery resources. At the same time, capture fisheries provide a vital source of livelihood and nutritional security to many socio-economically marginalised communities in the Gangetic plains. Fishers are also dependent on adequate and clean water in rivers regulated by dams and barrages, and in that way, they suffer from river flow alterations just as biodiversity does. This inter-dependency between freshwater wildlife and fisheries is, thus, a key area for policy advocacy and engagement. WCT’s Riverine Ecosystems and Livelihoods (REAL) Programme seeks to examine the ways in which the objectives of fisheries and wildlife management in India’s Gangetic plains and Central India can be interwoven, specifically in areas where fishing activity and endangered freshwater species overlap. This programme also studies the conflicts over fishing rights in and around terrestrial and riverine or wetland protected areas. To this end, WCT conducts surveys and studies on ecological interactions between freshwater species and fishing activity; reviews existing gaps in fisheries and wildlife laws; and identifies the institutional and socio-economic factors underlying fishery conflicts both with wildlife conservation and other river-dependent stakeholders. This project builds on the long-term research and conservation efforts by its team in the Ganga River and its tributaries in the Gangetic plains. This project addresses three priority goals: 1) long-term survival of riverine species’ populations, 2) availability of adequate and productive riverine habitats for wildlife and fisheries, and 3) livelihood sustainability and social security for communities involved in conservation. |
