Explanation:

Recovery programmes for protection of critically endangered species :

Rapidly growing anthropogenic pressures and incompatible land uses outside protected areas threatens the ecological integrity of broader land- and seascapes.
Realizing the need of immediate conservation efforts to reverse the declining trend of several terrestrial and marine species, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) entrusted Wildlife Institute of India (WII) to develop guidelines for species conservation action plans.
Subsequently in 2015, the MoEFCC tasked WII to prepare Endangered Species Recovery Plans (ESRP) for identi fied nationally and globally important species such as Great Indian Bustard, Manipuri Deer- Sangai, Gangetic Dolphin and Dugong.
The progamme is one of the three components of the centrally funded scheme, Integrated Development of Wildlife Habitats (IDWH).
