Alvar Habitat Conservation Plan

The Alvar Habitat Conservation Plan is a comprehensive strategy aimed at preserving unique alvar ecosystems, which are grassland areas characterized by thin, alkaline soil. These habitats host specific plant and animal species that rely on this environment. The plan outlines measures for balancing development and conservation, ensuring that activities like farming or construction do not threaten the fragile ecosystem. It involves collaboration among government agencies, scientists, and local communities to protect biodiversity while allowing sustainable land use. Ultimately, the goal is to maintain the ecological integrity of alvar habitats for future generations.
