The endangered Mahseer species, especially Tor tor (Ham) is a state fish of Madhya Pradesh province of India. Ongoing construction of dams on the state’s rivers destroys the breeding and habitat ground of this fish species. To inspect the current situation, the conservation of Mahseer is commencing a big challenge for biodiversity developers. To conserve the fish from steady deterioration, a unique M.I.R.A.C.L.E strategy has been endorsed which includes mapping of habitat, involving people with this project, research and data collection, advocacy for policy and legal framework, conservation measures following the restoration of the wild species through ex-situ & in-situ conservation, livelihoods connections, extension and training of frontline foresters on this conservation issue. In the future, this M.I.R.A.C.L.E strategy could help to guide in the right way to protecting this valuable fish species from being extinct.
