<strong>Master</strong> <strong>Planning</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong><strong>Zoo</strong>s</strong><br />

Why does Himachal Pradesh require a supplementary<br />

ex-situ conservation strategy & action plan?<br />

• Himachal harbours a significant percentage <strong>of</strong> western himalayan flora &<br />

fauna. Several <strong>of</strong> them are endemic, rare & endangered<br />

• It’s network <strong>of</strong> protected areas following three decades <strong>of</strong> protection are<br />

ready for species restoration (assessment <strong>of</strong> habitat improvement required)<br />

• It’s ex-situ conservation efforts would not only benefit the state but other<br />

himalayan range state as well<br />

• Set-up ex-situ conservation centres for future gene bank (global climate<br />

change & glacier loss)<br />

Criteria for prioritizing species for ex-situ support<br />

• IUCN red data book listed species<br />

• Schedule I species with Himalayan distribution<br />

• Himalayan range species – endemic or localised in HimachalPradesh<br />

• CZA prioritized species (himalayan)<br />

• Species assessed in camp& short listed<br />

• IUCN –specialist group recommended species<br />

• Recent status survey reports<br />

• Field managers requirements<br />

Objectives for ex-situ conservation<br />

• Insurance against extinction<br />

• Conservation breeding for species restoration<br />

• Creation <strong>of</strong> surplus stock for gene pool<br />

supplementation and co-ordinated breeding<br />

• Non-consumptive use (education – awareness tourism)<br />

• Livlihood options using some restored species (Mahaseer)<br />

• Derivatives for commercial use?<br />

What is required?<br />

• Assesment <strong>of</strong> existing infra-structures and their contribution and<br />

suitability<br />

• competency <strong>of</strong> human resource and skill development<br />

• Networking with specialised agencies<br />

• Linkages with in-situ sites<br />

• Development <strong>of</strong> species specific integrated plans<br />
