Recommendations provided in the record to maintain or enhance the sustainability of the use of the target species

1.Efforts should be taken that the issue submergence of land is solved so that the mixed landuse can allow agriculture as well as conducive habitat for birds again. This will help to reduce the conflict between conservation and livelihoods. 2. The forest department at the Samaspur Bird Sanctuary needs to be strengthened with staff and additional budgetary allocation. 3. Efforts should be taken on much larger scale to stop the spread of Water Hyacinth in the lakes. 4. The collaborative efforts through schemes such as eco-development have provided an opportunity to the forest department and the local community to interact and understand the nature of the problem. Hence, such schemes need to be continued and expanded in other villages. 4. There are no local non-governmental organizations or community based organizations to facilitate the dialogue between the forest department and local communities. 5.Research facilities need to be established at the sanctuary for regular monitoring of important ecological factors like soil, water etc. If this is not possible, the collaboration could be sought with the regional research bodies for such monitoring
