Eco-development refers to development supported the sustainable use of local renewable resources mainly for the advantage of local people. In rural India, this suggests satisfying basic needs and providing employment, but not at the expense of the environment and not without participation by the local people.

Adapting to natural conditions, eco-development doesn’t seek short term productivity increase through the intensive use of external inputs and high risk technology. Eco-development respects the ecological and economical benefits derived from protected-areas (national parks and sanctuaries) which are inadequately accounted for in traditional cost/benefit analysis.

Hence, eco-development means where conservation oriented community development programmes are undertaken. it’s an urgent need so as to make sure the support and involvement of local people within the overall management of wildlife areas. It deals principles and practices of appropriate natural-resource-management with people’s participation.

The objective is to reorder rural development so on improve the socio-economic conditions of the people and do that during a sustainable manner vis-a-vis resource productivity and optimal utilization. It also aims to market the people’s traditional bonds with their land and resources so on ultimately support the conservation of the protected-areas.

Eco-development and people’s participation in land-use decisions are inspiring concepts in protected-area management. Adopting these concepts implies a fundamental shift far away from the normal approaches to protection.
We have worked for securing the Local Ecology by creating a natural habitat in the regions of dang, saputara and navsari to protect the natural habitat. We have developed the environment in such a way that it doesn’t affect the tribal living in those regions.
