This research paper presents a comprehensive and integrated plan for the conservation of riverine biodiversity and the development of sustainable ecotourism in the Katarniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary. The plan combines scientific research, conservation strategies, and community-based ecotourism initiatives to safeguard the unique ecosystems of the Girwa River while creating economic opportunities and fostering environmental stewardship among local communities. By assessing the riverine biodiversity, identifying threats, and developing targeted mitigation strategies, the plan lays the foundation for effective ecosystem management. Additionally, the sustainable ecotourism framework promotes low-impact activities that allow visitors to appreciate the sanctuary's natural wealth while minimizing disturbance to the ecosystems. The successful implementation of this plan will serve as a model for sustainable development in other protected areas facing similar challenges across the globe.
