Indore Forest Circle Tops Madhya Pradesh Biodiversity Awards with Community-Led Conservation Model

Indore Forest Circle in Madhya Pradesh has been recognized as the top-performing circle for biodiversity conservation at the State Level Annual Biodiversity Awards 2024-25. The circle's success stems from implementing the Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) system, which channels royalties from industries using local natural resources directly to village Biodiversity Management Committees. Led by former DFO Pradeep Mishra and current DFO Lal Sudhakar Singh, this community-focused approach emphasizes transparency and sustainable economic development by involving local populations as stakeholders in conservation efforts.
