Can Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) help conservation?

Can Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) foster people-led conservation in India?

In line with  Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework , signatory countries intend to conserve at least 30% of the areas by a combination of Protected Areas and OECMs. The utility of OECMs across the globe is contextually relevant as the land availability for Protected Areas is limited and the ecosystems are also diverse, which require tailored strategies for conservation that the PAs may not serve. Moreover, the OECMs may help promote people's participation in conservation who have been overshadowed by State-led controls.
