MESSAGE

Indore is the commercial capital of Madhya Pradesh and through its dedicated efforts, the city
earned the distinction of being the cleanest city in India. It is growing at a fast pace and manages to
combine both traditional and modern lifestyles. At the same time, due to a rapid growth in population,
urbanisation and disposable incomes have grave impacts such as significant landscape changes that lead
to loss of biodiversity. Thus, there is an urgent call for cities to come together to form partnerships, share
experiences and seek solutions for urban biodiversity.

In this regard, CBD launched a concept of City Biodiversity Index for conservation of urban
biodiversity and sensitization of urban local bodies. Madhya Pradesh State Biodiversity Board (MPSBB)
initiated a project in 2021 to prepare the City Biodiversity Index for Indore in collaboration with Wildlife
Institute of India and ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, South Asia.

A lot of effort has been taken to prepare Indore’s City Biodiversity Index and I am sure that
it will play a key role in helping the city conserve and enhance its greenness sustainable smart city
development, and reinforce its vision to become a liveable and sustainable space. We are grateful to
Wildlife Institute of India and ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, South Asia for the invaluable
support they provided in making this initiative a success. I hope this report motivates other urban centres
in Madhya Pradesh to adopt similar measures to conserve their natural ecosystems.

MESSAGE

Biological diversity represents the natural wealth of our planet, and provides the basis for
life and prosperity of mankind. However, biodiversity is currently vanishing at an alarming rate due
to a variety of human activities. We need to respond to these challenges by rethinking our plans and
policies, and we can no longer see biodiversity as being restricted to forests and rural areas; cities,
too, play a critical role in biodiversity conservation.

In recognition of the fact, Madhya Pradesh Forest Department has taken lot of effort in
maintaining the greenness of Indore city. However, the concept of City Biodiversity Index is one of
the key initiative of CBD to sensitize the urban local bodies and help to conserve urban biodiversity.
Madhya Pradesh State Biodiversity Board (MPSBB) has taken a lead in developing the City Biodiversity
Index of Indore with the support from Wildlife Institute of India and ICLEI – Local Governments
for Sustainability, South Asia. The Madhya Pradesh Forest Department is committed to conserve
biodiversity in lndore city, and the development of the City Biodiversity Index is a key achievement of
our efforts in this direction.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Wildlife Institute of India and ICLEI- Local
Governments for Sustainability, South Asia for their assistance and expertise in developing the City
Biodiversity Index, which will help lndore to take proactive steps towards biodiversity conservation
and contribute to the attainment of the National Biodiversity Targets and the Post 2020 Global
Biodiversity Framework, thus supporting the implementation of the Convention on Biological
Diversity.

Urban biodiversity, is essential for the city as well as human society because of the goods and
services it provides. Considering the fact, Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in its ninth meeting
of the Conference of Parties in 2008, acknowledged the role of cities and local bodies in biodiversity
conservation and introduced the concept of City Biodiversity Index (CBI).

Indore being the cleanest city in India and in Madhya Pradesh, it should also have adequate
greenness and be the best green city in India. Recognizing this, Madhya Pradesh State Biodiversity Board
(MPSBB) has initiated a project in April 2021 to develop City Biodiversity Index of Indore with the support
from Wildlife Institute of India and ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, South Asia.

The City Biodiversity Index comprises background information on the city and 23 indicators that
make up the index. The overall exercise in developing the City Biodiversity Index documented valuable
information on 477 species of plants, 235 species of birds, 82 species of butterflies, 18 species of fish,
35 species of spiders from various studies conducted within the city limits, apart from understanding
the ecosystem services provided by the city. This report will act as a baseline for future monitoring and
assessment of biodiversity within the city of Indore.

I thank Wildlife Institute of India and ICLEI- Local Governments for Sustainability, South Asia for
developing the City Biodiversity Index of lndore.

MESSAGE
Indore is the commercial capital of Madhya Pradesh, situated on the Malwa Plateau. It is the largest
and most densely populated city in central India, which is popular for its history, monuments, food
and bazaars. Indore has retained the title of India’s cleanest city for six consecutive years, also
making it the greenest city is the biggest challenge ahead. There is demand for Urban Local Bodies
to maintain the biodiversity within the Smart City Framework. In this regard, City Biodiversity
Index (CBI) was launched by Convention on Biological Diversity in 2008 to mainstream biodiversity
conservation in urban planning and serves as a self-assessment tool for cities to evaluate their
biodiversity conservation efforts over time.

Madhya Pradesh State Biodiversity Board with technical support from Wildlife Institute of India
and ICLEI South Asia computed the baseline CBI for Indore. This document provides 23 indices with
three core components- native biodiversity, ecosystem services, and governance and management
of biodiversity of Indore. The study reported information on 477 species of plants, 235 species
of birds, 82 species of butterflies, 18 species of fish, 35 species of spiders from various studies
conducted within the city. Ralamandal Wildlife Sanctuary, Sirpur Lake, Fatan Khedi Lake, Bilawali
Lake, Pipliyapala Regional Park, Lalbagh, Meghdoot Garden, Nehru Park and Holkar Science College
Campus are important biodiversity rich areas in Indore.

The City Biodiversity Index is meant to be used as a tool for a city to measure their own progress
towards improving conservation efforts and therefore serves as a benchmark for the existing
efforts. It is unwise to compare City Biodiversity Index of two cities, as each city has its own local
context, demographics, strengths, weaknesses, resources and capacity.

Urban Local Bodies have an important role to develop the city sustainably and make it livable for
its citizens. City Biodiversity Index of Indore therefore should be repeated after every four years
preferably by Urban Local Bodies to examine the progress of conservation efforts over time.
Results in trends are more important than the absolute score for a city.

I compliment the Government of Madhya Pradesh for initiating CBI of Indore and look forward for
this exercise to be taken up in other cities.

Summary

Hosting more than half the world’s population, the inclusion of cities in the global
conversation around biodiversity conservation becomes all the more relevant whether
because of their location at important ecosystem junctions, or in areas of high biodiversity
and or because of the impacts they have on an area’s natural resources. Recognising this,
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 2008 conceptualised the first global biodiversity
index for urban areas, ‘City Biodiversity Index (CBI)’ or the ‘Singapore Index on Cities
Biodiversity’. The index is a self-assessment tool for cities to evaluate and monitor the
progress of their biodiversity conservation efforts across subsequent applications of the tool.

Considering the importance of the CBI, Madhya Pradesh State Biodiversity Board (MPSBB)
initiated a project in 2021 to prepare the City Biodiversity Index for the cities of Bhopal
and Indore, Madhya Pradesh with technical support from Wildlife Institute of India (WII),
Dehradun and ICLEI South Asia, New Delhi.

The CBI of Indore has been prepared as per the guidelines and methodology provided in
the User’s Manual on the Singapore Index on Cities’ Biodiversity, endorsed by the CBD in
2014. It comprises the following sections, a “Profile of the City”, which provides background
information on the city; and the 23 indicators that make up the index. The indicators are
grouped across three main components viz. Native Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services provided
by biodiversity and Governance and Management of biodiversity.

The overall exercise collated and documented information on 477 species of plants, 235
species of birds, 82 species of butterflies, 18 species of fishes, 35 species of spiders from
various studies conducted within the city limits of lndore. A Natural Asset Map was also
prepared which highlighted 11 dominant land classes within the city. Ralamandal Wildlife
Sanctuary, Sirpur Lake, Fatan Khedi Lake, Bilawali Lake, Pipliyapala Regional Park, Lalbagh,
Meghdoot Garden, Nehru Park and Holkar Science College Campus are important biodiversity
areas in Indore.

The city scored a total of 34 out of 72 for 18 indicators (Figure 1, Table 1). Since this was the
baseline year the indicators 4-8 were not considered for the analysis. The first section on
“Native Biodiversity in the City”, contributed to a score of 10 out of 20 as only five indicators
were taken into consideration. The city receives an average score for this section indicating
that natural spaces need to be enhanced or restored to improve its overall ecological health.

XII
 City Biodiversity Index, Indore

Indicators 11-14 which relate to “Ecosystem Services Provided by Biodiversity in the City”
scored 3 out of 16 points. The city’s low score for this section which is linked to the previous
section can be improved by addressing the quality and health of its natural ecosystems.

Indicators 15-23 which correspond to “Governance and Management of Biodiversity in the

City” contributed to a score of 21 points out of 36 points. This is an above-average score
indicating that there are some governance mechanisms already in place that may benefit
biodiversity and local ecosystems.

This report will act as a baseline for future monitoring and assessment of biodiversity within
the city of Indore. The recommendations set out under each indicator are aimed at guiding the
city administration in taking actions towards improving their future score.

T
he City Biodiversity Index (CBI) was proposed to be a benchmark in the conservation
efforts made by cities to preserve biodiversity, by Singapore’s former Minister for
National Development, Mr. Mah Bow Tan at COP-9, of CBD in 2008. Developed and
maintained by the Singapore National Parks Board (NParks), with support from ICLEI, the
CBD and others, the CBI is the only biodiversity index designed specifically for monitoring and
evaluating biodiversity in cities.

Also called the ‘Singapore Index (SI)’, so named in recognition of Singapore’s contribution and
leadership, the index is a self-assessment tool meant to assist cities in better understanding
how to enhance their biodiversity conservation efforts over time. The CBI is broadly divided
into two parts: Part I- the profile of the city; which provides background information on
the city; and Part II- the 23 indicators that measure native biodiversity, ecosystem services
provided by biodiversity, and governance and management of biodiversity based on
guidelines and methodology provided in the User’s Manual on the Singapore Index on Cities ‘
Biodiversity,With a maximum score of 92, scores for each indicator vary from 0 to 4 points.

The year in which a city first embarks on this scoring will be taken as the baseline year,
and this will be measured against future applications of the Index to chart its progress in
conserving biodiversity .

CBI for Indore has been prepared by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Dehradun with
support from the Madhya Pradesh State Biodiversity Board (MPSBB), the Indore Municipal
Corporation and with the knowledge support from ICLEI South Asia.

The CBI of Indore has been prepared based on the Secretariat of Convention on Biological
Diversity (SCBD) endorsed user’s manual for CBI updated in 2014. The 23 indicators that make
up the index are grouped into three main components viz. Native Biodiversity, Ecosystem
Services provided by biodiversity and Governance and Management of biodiversity. The CBI is
divided into 2 parts:
Part I - Profile of the city- Location, physical features, demographics, administration, economic
parameters etc.

Part A: Indore City Profile

1. Location
Indore, the capital and largest city of Madhya Pradesh is located between 22°20” N to 22°43”
latitude and 75°25” E to 75°15” E longitude (Sharma and Barkale, 2016). It is also the cultural,
educational and commercial centre of the state (Indore Development Authority, 2017). The
city is situated in the heart of Malwa plateau of Central India covering an area of 279.39 sq. km,
550m above mean sea level.

2. Geographical Characteristic

The city is located on the Malwa Plateau in the country’s north central region, on the banks of
the rivers Kanh and Saraswati and tributaries of the River Shipra (Verma and Bhonde, 2014).
In the north, it is bordered by the Madhya Bharat Plateau and the Bundelkhand area, in the
south by the Vindhyan Range, and in the west by the Gujarat region (Shukla and Solanki, 2021).
According to the Zonation Map of India, the region lies in the Seismic Zone III (Shukla and
Solanki, 2019).

3. Demography
According to the census 2011, the population of Indore city and its outgrowth is 19,94,397
which includes 10,35,912 males and 9,58,485 females (Census, 2011).

In terms of religion, 80.18% of the population follows Hinduism followed by 14.09% who follow
Islam. Christianity is followed by 0.65%, Jainism by 3.25%, Sikhism by 1.09%, and Buddhism by
1.09% in Indore city (Census, 2011).

4. Economy
Indore district’s gross domestic product was INR 4,335,623 at current prices in 2016-17,
compared to INR 3,464,020 at constant prices in 2011-2012. The district’s net domestic product
in 2016-17 was INR 3,836,158 at current prices, compared to INR. 3,023,311 at constant prices in
2011-2012. The district’s Per capita income, at factor cost in 2016-17 was INR 107,930 at current
prices, compared to INR 85,060 at constant prices in 2011-2012 (Census, 2011).

In terms of education, Indore is fortunate to have both IIT and IIM, making it the only city in
India with both the prestigious institutions. Daly College is one of the oldest co-educational
boarding schools of India which was established in 1882.

5. Biodiversity
Indore city has several natural spaces which supports a rich biodiversity. The green spaces
of the city are dominated by several parks and avenue plantations. The Ralamandal Wildlife
Sanctuary, a biodiversity hotspot, is situated adjoining the municipal boundaries of the city. In
terms of the blue spaces, Sirpur Lake, Fatan Khedi Lake, Bilawali Lakes are important sites.

Sirpur Wetland has been recently declared a Ramsar Site on the 7th of January 2022, with
a total area of 161 ha. The area is also known as Pakshi Vihar (bird sanctuary). It is home
to over 175 species of terrestrial plants, 6 species of macrophytes, 30 species of wild and
cultivated fishes, 8 species of reptiles and amphibian, and more. During winters more than 130
different bird species can be seen around the lake (Ramsar Convention, 2022). The Lake is also
designated as an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBBA) by Birdlife International.

Data on biodiversity of the city is limited to some scientific research papers and books
published on birds and benthic macro invertebrates. To further support the development of
the index, several experts were consulted for checklists of birds, plants, butterfly, invasive
species.

Studies on birds particularly the spatial variation, IUCN, WPA and residential status, and their
nest building behaviour was conducted in various green spaces of Indore city (Pipliyapala
Regional Park, Lalbagh, Meghdoot Garden, Nehru Park) and in the Holkar Science College
Campus (Bhonsle et al., 2018; Gaur et al., 2019; Gaur et al., 2020a; Gaur et al., 2020b). In the
study conducted in the Holkar Science College Campus, 51 species of birds were identified
which belong to the 14 Orders and 33 Families. In the study of various birds in different green
spaces of the city, 58 bird species belonging to 13 orders and 34 families were identified (Gaur
et al., 2021).

The Nature Volunteers (TNV), an NGO working in Indore, has also conducted some studies in
the region. They have published two books, The Birds of Sirpur (Mondhe et al., 2012) and Birds
of Indore (Mondhe et al., 2019) which reports 130 and 266 species of birds respectively. Birds of
Indore accounts for the whole district rather than the city. For the city, a consolidated list was
developed which was compared with the species recorded by citizen science platform eBird,
developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. A total of 235 species of birds are reported in the
city (Table 13 of Annexure III).

A study detailing the flowering plants of Indore district in Madhya Pradesh by Rao & Sastry
(1964) identified 566 species of flowering plants. The study hasn’t been revised and an updated
publication on the flora is lacking. A checklist of plants from the Garden Department of Indore
Municipal Corporation (IMC) accounts for 477 species of vascular plants reported for Indore
city & has been referred for computation of CBI of Indore (Table 14, Annexure III).

Sharma and Barkale (2017), studied the benthic macro-invertebrates in the Bilawali lake of
the city, where 35 species of macro-invertebrates were identified. Among these, 12 species of
Annelids, 12 species of Molluscans and 11 species of Arthropods were found.

A butterfly list was supplied by Dr Vipul Keerti, Professor, Department of Zoology, Holkar
Science College Indore. 82 species of butterflies are reported in Indore city (Table 15, Annexure
III).

Sharma & Sharma (2015) identified 35 species of spiders under 11 families, in their study on
Sirpur Lake (Table 16, Annexure III) and same has been reported for Indore city and used for
computation of CBI. Data on the fishes occurring in the ponds of city is collected from the
Department of Fisheries. There are 18 species of fishes occurring in the water bodies of the city
(Table 17, Annexure III).

6. Natural Asset Map:

The Natural Asset map of Indore (Figure 3) has been prepared identifying the blue green
spaces of city and classified into 11 land classes which accounts for 44.28% of the total area of
the city (Table 3). Agriculture occupies the largest area among the various land uses identified
in the map followed by urban green spaces.

7. Administration of Biodiversity

State driven conservation models include protected areas and territorial forests (Krishnan et
al., 2012). Indore city has city forests/territorial forests which are maintained by the Madhya
Pradesh Forest Department.

In Indore, the following agencies are responsible at state and city administrative level for
biodiversity related activities.

i. Madhya Pradesh Forest Department (Indore Division)

This department which was established in 1860, is headed by the Principal Chief Conservator
of Forests (PCCF). Forest lands and other protected areas are managed efficiently, and forest
resources are conserved and promoted through administrative entities established at the
regional level. Madhya Pradesh was likely the first state in India to begin the job of developing
a working plan in 1894. The Forest Department also maintains the city forests of Indore. For
more details please visit: https://mpforest.gov.in/HomeHindi.aspx

ii. Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) (Indore Nagar Palika Nigam)

Indore Municipal Corporation is involved in the day-to-day administration of the 85 wards
of the city. The local body provide services such as healthcare, education, green space
improvement, housing and transport by collecting property taxes and administering grants
from the state government. For more details please visit: Indore municipal corporation
(mp.gov.in)

iii. Indore Smart City Development Limited (ISCDL)

Indore Smart City Development limited is a Special Purpose Vehicle constituted under
the Smart Cities Mission that works towards improving cities and their liveability through
sustainable infrastructure development. ISCDL is headed by the Collector of the Indore district
as a chairman, and the Commissioner of IMC is the executive Director. For more details please
visit: Smart City Indore | Welcome to Indore Smart City.

iv. Indore Development Authority (IDA)

Indore Development Authority, is the urban planning agency serving Indore Metropolitan
Region. The IDA and IMC collaborate to support biodiversity administration. Numerous parks
and gardens are included in the IDA schemes and are maintained by the IMC. For more details:
IDA: Indore Development Authority (idaindore.org)

v. Madhya Pradesh State Biodiversity Authority (MPSBB):

Headquartered in Bhopal, MPSBB advises the State Government and the local bodies on issues
pertaining to biodiversity conservation, including constituting local biodiversity management
committees, conducting regular training programmes and consultations and awareness on
issues pertaining to biodiversity. For more details please refer http://mpsbb.nic.in/.

 City Biodiversity Index, Indore

INDICATOR 1: Proportion of Natural Areas in the city

Component: Native Biodiversity

The definition of the Natural areas is stated in the Singapore Index Manual as “Natural areas
comprise predominantly native species and natural ecosystems, which are not, or no longer, or
only slightly influenced by human actions, except where such actions are intended to conserve,
enhance or restore native biodiversity.”

As per the CBI user manual

Principle for calculation of the indicator
(Total area of natural, restored and naturalised areas) ÷ (Total area of city) × 100

Scoring Range: (based on the CBI user manual)

0 point: <1.0%
1 point: 1.0% - 6.9%
2 points: 7.0% - 13.9%
3 points: 14.0% - 20.0%
4 points: > 20.0%

The definition given in the CBI manual was followed as closely as possible given Indian conditions,
and the Natural Asset map (Figure 3) was referred while calculating the Proportion of Natural
Areas. Table 3 enlists all the land classes and their areas as identified in the Natural Asset Map.
Among all the land classes, those that fit within the definition of natural areas include Forest
/ Natural vegetation, Sparse vegetation/Scrub, Lakes and pond, Marshes, River/Drainage and
Riverine Vegetation and have been considered for the calculation of this indicator (Table 4) .

Table 4: Natural Areas that were used to calculate Indicator 1

S.No Land Class Area in sq km Area in ha

5 River / Drainage 2.16 216
6 Riverine vegetation 0.43 43
Total 21.25 2125

Principal for calculating the indicator:

(Total area of natural, restored and naturalized areas) ÷ (Total area of city) × 100

Total area of natural, restored and naturalized areas: 21.25 sq. km

Total area of city: 279.39 sq. km

 City Biodiversity Index, Indore

Recommendations to improve score

Component: Native Biodiversity

Indore can improve its score by focussing on restoration of natural landscapes within the
city. To start off with, regions like Malwa mill and Hukumchand mill which are sites with very
rich diversity and very low human interference, can be focussed on while simultaneously
working towards the completion of the “Ahilya Van”, initiative. Other areas in the city can be
selected by developing a Local Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (LBSAP) which can help
to also identify goals, strategies and actions that will improve the extent and quality of natural
ecosystems.

 City Biodiversity Index, Indore

INDICATOR 2: Connectivity Measures or Ecological

Networks to Counter Fragmentation
Component: Native Biodiversity

Landscapes represented in Indore Municipal Corporation by the land classes- Agriculture, fallow
land, tree patches, open ground, and parks also form a part of the ecological network. However,
these have not been considered natural areas following the guidelines of the CBI manual.

As per the CBI user manual

Principle for calculation of the indicator

1
Atotal * ( 1
A 2 + A22 + A32 + ... + An2)

Where:
Atotal is the total area of all natural areas
A1 to An are areas that are distinct from each other (i.e. more than or equal to 100m apart)
n
is the total number of connected natural areas

This measures effective mesh size of the natural areas in the city. A1 to An may consist of areas
that are the sum of two or more smaller patches which are connected. In general, patches are
considered as connected if they are less than 100m apart.

Scoring Range: (based on the CBI user manual)

0 point: < 200 ha
1 point: 201 - 500 ha
2 points: 501 - 1000 ha
3 points: 1001 - 1500 ha
4 points: > 1500 ha

The patches associated with the land classes used to calculate indicator 1, i.e., Forest / Natural
Vegetation, Sparse Vegetation/ Scrub, Lake, Marshes, River/Drainage and Riverine Vegetation
have been considered in this calculation. Figure 4 shows the map prepared for Connectivity
patches of Natural Areas of Indore Municipal Boundaries.

162 polygons (patches) were merged with the land class River Saraswati and considered a single
unit, as per the 100m proximity rule. The total area of this big patch (A1) was determined as
491.92 ha. 19 patches were merged with Sirpur lake, considered patch A2, with an area of 326.72
ha (Annexure II,Table 12).

There are 323 polygons (patches) outside the 100m buffer of these two big patches. As per the
100m proximity rule, these patches are inter-merged into 116 patches
(A3 – A124). The total number of patches is shown in Table 12, Annexure II.

Atotal = 2124.83 ha

As per the final calculation

Indicator 2 = 1/2124.83 ha × (470279.62 ha2) = 221.33 ha

RESULT: 221.33 ha SCO R E : 1

 City Biodiversity Index, Indore

Recommendations to improve score

Component: Native Biodiversity

The blue-green connectivity of the city can be improved by the conservation and restoration of
the natural areas as recommended in indicator 1. With 31.4% of the land use under Agriculture,
biodiversity friendly cultivation methods, technologies like Agroforestry, permaculture can
be a focus of the IMC through partnerships with the Agriculture and Forest departments.
Stakeholder consultations and partnerships should be an integral part of identifying the right
intervention. Further strategies can be identified through the LBSAP.

INDICATOR 3: Native Biodiversity in Built up Areas

(Bird Species)

Component: Native Biodiversity

Number of native bird species in built up areas where built up areas include impermeable
surfaces like buildings, roads, drainage channels, etc., and anthropogenic green spaces like roof
gardens, roadside planting, golf courses, private gardens, cemeteries, lawns, urban parks, etc.
Areas that are counted as natural areas in indicator 1 should not be included in this indicator.

Scoring Range: (based on the CBI user manual)

0 point: < 19 bird species
1 point: 19 - 27 bird species
2 points: 28 - 46 bird species
3 points: 47 - 68 bird species
4 points: > 68 bird species

Secondary data on birds was available in the form of research papers, books and reports.
Citizen science platforms such as eBird (2021) developed by Cornell Lab of Ornithology
was also referred for the generation of the list. The computation of this indicator does not
include the natural areas that were taken into account in Indicator 1. The Nature Volunteers
Team’s experts were consulted to examine the birds that are found in the natural or urban
(anthropogenic) areas.

The city is home to 235 different bird species, 97 of which may be found in the city’s urban and
anthropogenic altered areas. Table 13 of Annexure III, lists the birds taken into consideration.

R ESU L T: 97 b ird s pec ies SCO RE: 4

Recommendations to maintain score

The number of urban birds dwelling in the city can be improved by expanding the
greenspaces in the urban environment. Birds can be attracted by encouraging the public to
plant more native trees in their yards, communal gardens, or parking lots. The planting of
native vegetation should be encouraged rather than replacing it with ornamental plants.
The general public ought to be aware of the value of urban birds and their contribution to
the environment. With the aid of NGOs already dedicated to the same cause, the city can
initiate partnerships that encourage residents to engage in activities like bird watching and
participating in citizen science initiatives.

 City Biodiversity Index, Indore

INDICATOR 4-8 : Change in Number of Native Species

The change in number of native species is used for indicators 4 to 8. The three core groups are:
Component: Native Biodiversity

• Indicator 4 : vascular plants

• Indicator 5 : birds
• Indicator 6 : butterflies

These groups have been selected as data are most easily available and to enable some common
comparison.

Cities can select any two other taxonomic groups for indicators 7 and 8 (e.g. bryophytes, fungi,
amphibians, reptiles, freshwater fish, molluscs, dragonflies, beetles, spiders, hard corals, marine
fish, seagrasses, sponges, etc.)

The above data from the first application of the CBI would be reported in Part A: Profile of the
City as the baseline.

Net change in species from the previous survey to the most recent survey is calculated as:

Total increase in number of species (as a result of re-introduction, rediscovery, new species
found, etc.) minus number of species that have gone extinct.

Scoring Range: (based on the CBI user manual)

0 point: Maintaining or a decrease in the number of species
1 point: 1 species increase
2 points: 2 species increase
3 points: 3 species increase
4 points: 4 species or more increase

Data is very deficient in case of native biodiversity of city. Relatively few studies are conducted
on the flora or fauna present on the region, as also discussed in the part A of the Biodiversity
Section. For Indicator 4, the Garden section of IMC provided a list of plants (Table 14, Annexure
III). For the preparation of birds list for indicator 5, a consolidated list was prepared from all
the available sources discussed in part A (Table 13, Annexure III) and a taxa expert from the
TNV Team was consulted at the final stage of the list preparation. Dr. Vipul Keerti, Professor in
the Department of Zoology at Holkar Science College, provided the list of butterflies for the
indicator 6 (Table 15, Annexure III).

For the additional taxa (Indicator 7 & 8) a list of Spiders and Fishes was compiled respectively.
The list of spiders was extracted from the study conducted by Sharma & Sharma (2015) (Table
16, Annexure III) and the list of fishes was received from the Department of Fisheries, Indore
(Table 17, Annexure III).

When the city revises the index in five years, these lists will serve as the baseline data for
comparison and calculation of indicators.

R E SU L T : Since this is the baseline year for the species count,

the city will not receive a score on the indicators 4-8 and it will be
excluded from the overall calculations.

INDICATOR 9: Proportion of Protected Natural

Areas
The definition of a protected area according to the CBI manual is “any legally protected, formally

Component: Native Biodiversity

secured areas, and other administratively protected areas, as different cities have different
terminologies and means for protecting their natural areas”.

The details of the protected areas have been supplied by the Forest Department, Indore
Division. In addition to the designated protected zones, the Indore Municipal Corporation is
creating the Ahilya Van (City Forest) in 150 selected spots. However, since these areas are still in
the process of being developed and declared, they have not been taken into consideration. The
Sirpur Wetland which is a Ramsar site is also included in the list. Table 5 below lists all of Indore’s
protected areas.

Table 5: List of Protected Areas

Proportion of protected natural areas= 5.65 ÷ 279.39 × 100

R ES U L T : 0 . 0 2 0 % SCO RE : 0

Recommendations to improve score

The city scores poorly in this indicator highlighting a distinct absence of protection of natural
spaces. The ongoing Ahilya Van Project will contribute to improving the future score however,
the city can identify areas rich in biodiversity such as Hukumchand and Malwa mill regions, and
designate them as biodiversity heritage sites under the Biological Diversity Act, 2002. Exploring
partnerships with the Forest Department may also yield information about other areas which
can be afforded protection through Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures
(OECMs).

INDICATOR 10 : Proportion of Invasive Alien Species

Component: Native Biodiversity

The taxonomist Dr. Sudeep Ray, Professor, Department of Botany, PMB Gujarati Science
College, was contacted to support in the identification of invasive species from the total plant
list of the city because there was no published information on the invasive species of Indore
City. Dr. Ray identified 44 invasive species, listed in Table 18, Annexure III.

Scoring Range: (based on the CBI user manual)

0 point: > 30.0%
1 point: 20.1% - 30.0%
2 points: 11.1% - 20.0%
3 points: 1.0% - 11.0%
4 points: < 1.0%

(Number of invasive alien species) ÷ (Number of native species) × 100

Number of Invasive Alien Species = 44

Number of Native Species = 477

Proportion of invasive alien species = 44 ÷ 477 × 100

RESULT: 9.2% SCO RE : 3

Recommendations to improve score

The score for this indicator has been calculated taking into account limited information on the
city’s invasive species and therefore can only be considered indicative. Further research should
be carried out on the invasive species of the region which may be addressed as an action point
in the LBSAP for the city which should be developed to improve the score of several indicators.

INDICATOR 11 : Regulation of Quantity of Water

Component: Ecosystem Services Provided by Biodiversity

A permeability map of IMC was prepared for the purpose of calculating this indicator (Figure
5). For the map preparation Sentinel-2 Level, 2 products with a cloud cover of less than
3% comprising the IMC region (Tile Number - T43QEF) acquired on 01 October 2022 were
downloaded from USGS Earth Explorer. Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B), and Near Infrared (NIR)
bands with 10m spatial resolution and vegetation red edge bands and Short-wave infrared bands
with 20 m spatial resolution were pre-processed for the supervised classification process. The
field surveyed and Google satellite layer location data for the Land use classes of Paddy field,
Plantation, Waterbody, Scrubland, Dense vegetation, Sparse vegetation, Open ground and
Urban built-up were utilized as the training data set for the supervised classification based on
the standard methodology in ENVI 5.3 software. After the LULC classification, the respective
land classes were merged, and a permeability map was prepared. The area of permeable spaces
of Indore city are given in Table 6.

Recommendations to improve score

The Rainwater Harvesting Project and the rejuvenation of traditional waterbodies project
started by the IMC and ISCDL will play a significant role in the improvement of this indicator.
Improving the city’s green and blue network by identifying strategies through the LBSAP will
also improve the score for this indicator.

Recommendations to improve score

Indore’s land use comprises a high percent of built-up area followed by agricultural areas. As
a result, the score for this indicator is low. To boost the score the IMC can identify suitable
areas for tree as well as look into developing native tree green belts along roadsides,
avenues and parks. Involving the public through well thought out awareness programmes
and sapling distribution will only serve to accelerate plantation on private and public land.
Future applications of the indicator may see an increase in the score if the Ahilya Van project is
successful.

Recommendations to maintain score

Indore has less than the minimum standard of 570 ha of recreational green space, as provided
in the Urban and Regional Development Plans Formulation and Implementation (URDPFI, Vol.
I) Guidelines, 2015. The city must, on priority, establish more organised native green spaces.
Partnerships with agricultural land owners resulting in them setting aside a small proportion of
land which can be developed into recreational green spaces through an appropriate financial
model, will not only result in protection of the city’s agricultural lands from being converted,
but also provide recreational spaces for locals.

Ralamandal Wildlife Sanctuary. Anubhooti camp, a nature camp organised by the Madhya
Pradesh Forest Department for Indore’s public schools, takes students to a neighbouring
national park or wildlife sanctuary. However, as these activities are not mandatory in the school
curriculum, they cannot account for the indicator calculation.

as IMC is the operator of zoo. The following are the various budget allocations (in INR) for
biodiversity related activities, made by the IMC for the financial year 2021-2022, this budget has
been taken into account for calculations.

1. Budget allocated to biodiversity related administration (under the function Parks and
Gardens, functional group Urban Forestry of Indore Municipal Corporation)- 16,07.36 million
INR. The breakdown of the amount is given below:
 Expenditure on development of parks and gardens = 316.001 million INR
 Expenditure on maintenance of Sirpur Pond buffer zone = 415.162 million INR
 Expenditure on plantation on Pitra parvat = 1.0 million INR
 Operations and maintenance of lakes, ponds and other waterbodies = 271.00 million INR
 Others = 606.284 million INR

2. Budget Allocated for Indore Zoo- 2,97.5 million INR

Total budget allocated for biodiversity = Budget allocated to biodiversity related administration
+ Budget allocated for Indore Zoo = (16,09.447 + 2,97.5) million INR = 1906.947 million INR

Total budget of IMC = 47639.641 million INR

Scoring Range: (based on the CBI user manual)

0 point: < 0.4%
1 point: 0.4% - 2.2%
2 points: 2.3% - 2.7%
3 points: 2.8% - 3.7%
4 points: > 3.7%

(Amount spent on biodiversity related administration) ÷ (Total budget of city) × 100

Calculations: 1906.947 ÷ 47639.641 × 100 = 4 %

R ES U L T : 4 % SCO R E : 4

Recommendations to maintain score

Indore has scored the highest points in the indicator as the budget allocated to the biodiversity
activities are quite effective. To maintain the score, the city governance should develop more
projects which can enhance the scores of other indicators. The scores of other indicators can
also be raised by allocating a small amount to creating a BMC and LBSAP.

INDICATOR 22: Education and Awareness- Is Biodiversity

or Nature Awareness included in School Curriculum
Component: Governance and Management of Biodiversity

Indicator 22 entails the inclusion of Environment education in schools as:

Is biodiversity or nature awareness included in the school curriculum (e.g. biology, geography,
etc.)

Scoring Range: (based on the CBI user manual)

0 point: Biodiversity or elements of it are not covered in the school curriculum

The school of the city follows the curriculum of Madhya Pradesh State Board, Central Board
of Secondary Education (CBSE), and Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE). All of
the examination boards include subjects like, biology, geography, science, and environmental
science, thus, the components of biodiversity are taught in schools.

R ES U L T : Biodiversity or Elements of it are

included in the School Curriculum

SCO R E : 4

Recommendations to maintain score

It should be noted here that this indicator which measures the theoretical aspects of
biodiversity education receives the highest score possible whereas indicator 14 which measures
practical aspects of biodiversity education received the lowest score possible. This highlights
that environmental education not just in Indore, but in the country at large needs to strike the
right balance between theory and practice. In order to address the same, the city administration
can give a directive to all schools to include visits to parks and biodiversity facilities (listed in
indicator 18) in their curriculum.

4 points: > 300 outreach events/year

Being the Cleanest City of India, IMC itself conducts a lot of outreach awareness activities under
the aegis of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (SBA) which directly or indirectly encompass biodiversity
issues. Numerous initiatives including plantations, cyclathons, marathons, and competitions are
employed to generate awareness. The outreach programs are also conducted via social media
accounts, FM radio, hoardings, and door-to-door outreach. According to conversations with city
administrators, there are over 150 outreach activities carried out every year.

R E S U L T : 1 50 - 3 00 SCO R E : 3

Recommendations to improve score

The Municipal Corporation takes its status as the Cleanest City of India seriously which it has
won as a result of well planned and executed awareness activities. Moving beyond the SBA
associated awareness programmes, into biodiversity related issues would benefit the score for
this indicator. Partnerships and collaborations will further bolster the score.
