Joint Forest Management (JFM)
Buldhana has been a notable example of successful Joint Forest Management in Maharashtra. In villages such as Botha (Khamgaon taluka), local Forest Protection Committees worked closely with the department to protect and regenerate forest under the JFM programme, improving both forest cover and the economic standing of forest-dependent communities. When such areas are later brought under sanctuary/wildlife jurisdiction, management shifts to the wildlife wing, balanced with continued community engagement.

- Eco-development committees — community-based conservation and livelihood support around sanctuary buffer zones.
- Green India Mission / State afforestation — participation in state and national reforestation targets.
- Human–wildlife conflict mitigation — support and compensation mechanisms for crop or livestock loss in villages bordering forest land.
