Hello everyone,
I want to start a discussion about WikiProject Protected Areas of India. We do not have too much activity in the group and the number of articles that this WikiProject looks after is also very small (only 442 as per date).
We have another issue, we do not have any Task Force to deal with green issues, biodiversity or environment.
So I propose that WikiProject Protected Areas of India becomes WikiProject Biodiversity, Protected areas & Environment of India with an enlarged scope.
Please comment on the talk page here :

Warm regards,

We already have a lot of Wikiprojects under WP:India that are "dormant", hence unless there is a real need and enough support, I would be sceptical of starting new projects and would rather concentrate on reviving "dormant" ones.

I agree with wheredevelsdare. That is why we are hoping to revive WP:INPA (shortcut for WikiProject Protected Areas of India) rather than to start another one. This in no way interferes with its previous scope but brings likely editors together and increases the possibility of synergy. These topics go together and no one can edit on PA, biodiversity or environmental issues without straying into the other realms rather frequently.
