'''Conservation Areas''' in [[India]] refer to well-demarcated large geographical entities with an established conservation plan, and were part of a joint Indo-US project on "landscape management and protection". The project ran from 1996 to 2002. These areas are home to many [[Conservation reliant species]].<br />
<br />
==Locations==<br />
<br />
Four Conservation Areas were selected for this project:<br />
<br />
* [[Anamalai Tiger Reserve|Annamalai Conservation Area]] in [[Tamil Nadu]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://projecttiger.nic.in/Ntcamap/108_1_32_mapdetails.aspx|title=Aanaimalai Tiger Reserve|date=29 June 2017|website=National Tiger Conservation Authority|access-date=2 July 2017}}{{dead link|date=August 2017|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref><br />

<br />
<br />
==Participants==<br />
<br />
The participating entities in the project were:<br />
<br />
*[[Ministry of Environment and Forests (India)|Ministry of Environment and Forests]], [[Government of India]]<br />
*[[Wildlife Institute of India]]<br />
*[[United States Forest Service]]<br />
<br />
==Goals==<br />
<br />
The primary goal was to develop experience in "landscape protection" - protection of large geographical entities as a whole, only parts of which may be under federal control and protection. Each of the conservation areas contained [[protected areas of India|fully protected areas]] like [[national parks of India|national parks]] and [[wildlife sanctuaries of India|wildlife sanctuaries]], managed resources like [[reserved forests of India|reserved forests]] and [[communal forests of India|communal forests]], as well as privately held land. The size of the selected regions constituted more than one [[forest division]], and in one case was spread over two states.<br />
