EcoSensitive
Zones: Guidelines for declaration of Eco‐sensitive zones around National Parks and
Wildlife Sanctuaries, has provided the extent of eco‐sensitive
zones as following:
 Many of the existing protected areas have already undergone tremendous
development in close vicinity to their boundaries. Some of the protected areas
actually lying in the urban setup (Eg. Guindy National Park, Tamil Naidu, Sanjay
Gandhi National Park, Maharashtra, etc.). Therefore, defining the extent of the
eco sensitive zones around protected areas will have to be kept flexible and
protected area specific. The width of the eco‐sensitive zone and type of
regulations will differ from protected area to protected area. However, as a general
principle the width of the eco‐sensitive zone could go up‐to 10 Kms around a
protected area as provided in the Wildlife Conservation Strategy‐2002.
 In case where sensitive corridors, connectivity and ecologically important patches,
crucial for landscape linkages, are even beyond 10 Kms width, these should be
included in the eco‐sensitive zone.
 Further, even in context of a particular protected area, the distribution of an area
of eco‐sensitive zone and the extant of regulation may not be uniform all around
and it could be of variable width and extent.
In addition to the various uses/activities, permitted, restricted on application to the
Competent Authority and prohibited, listed under various use zones, zone may also
be specified keeping in view the special characteristic of such areas/pockets. This
may comprise of old built‐up areas having mixed land use: S1, areas of historical or
archaeological importance having historical monuments and architecturally important
buildings: S2, areas of scenic value: S3, which need to be preserved without spoiling
the character by putting up various kinds of structures, the area restricted for
development by Government: S4, or it may be area under other uses/ spot zones:
S5.
