The Fish Conservation Zone (FCZ) is an area that is demarcated along a stretch of the river for the conservation of fish and other aquatic biodiversity and is managed by local communities. In 2021, with the support of the Critical Ecosystems Partnership Fund (CEPF), we along with our collaborators, established two FCZs in Khengjang and Yangoulen villages in Manipur and in Lapalang village in Meghalaya.
