\nThe Aravalli Biodiversity Park in Gurugram, Haryana, has been declared as India’s first “Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures” (OECM) site.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– OECM status is accorded by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
\n– An OECM is a geographically defined area other than a Protected Area, which is governed and managed in ways that achieve positive and sustained long-term outcomes for the in-situ conservation of biodiversity, with associated ecosystem functions and cultural, spiritual, socioeconomic, and other local relevant values.
\n– The Aravalli Biodiversity Park is a restored forest area on degraded mining land, showcasing how ecological restoration can significantly contribute to biodiversity conservation outside traditionally protected areas.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThis declaration highlights the importance of conserving biodiversity in urban landscapes and through community-led restoration efforts. While Corbett, Ranthambore, and Bandipur are well-known National Parks, they fall under the category of ‘Protected Areas’ and not OECM sites.
