Development of a Community-Based Conservation Action Plan for Protecting Plant Diversity

Prem Chand Yadav & Dr. Vinita

This study focuses on the development of a community-based conservation action plan aimed at protecting and sustainably managing plant diversity. The approach integrates indigenous knowledge, participatory resource assessment, and stakeholder collaboration to ensure local ownership and long-term conservation success. Key activities include community mapping of plant resources, identification of threatened and culturally significant species, capacity-building programs, and the establishment of locally agreed conservation rules and monitoring systems. The action plan emphasizes sustainable harvesting practices, habitat restoration, awareness creation, and alternative livelihood options to reduce pressure on plant resources. Findings highlight that active community participation strengthens conservation outcomes, enhances compliance, and fosters resilience of plant ecosystems. The proposed framework demonstrates that community-based conservation is an effective and scalable strategy for safeguarding plant diversity while supporting socio-economic development.
