The state has formed a 45-member committee to frame itsGoa state strategy and actionplan, on the lines of the national Biodiversity conservation plan.
Following the first meeting, members have suggested that the plan should dedicate a separate chapter to the saline khazan field Ecosystems of Goa.
The committee also plans to document the community conservation practices in use traditionally, like the preservation of forest patches as sacred groves.
Goa had earlier already framed an action plan, but it was mainly meticulous documentation of the states biodiversity, whereas the new plan is to provide a framework for conservation.
It is expected to serve as a handbook for citizens to understand how they can participate in the conservation process.
Consultations will also be carried out with each panchayat, Municipality, biodiversity management committee in each area, besides seeking inputs from the public.
