MACH project has ensured the management of the sanctuary by involving the local community at all stages in planning and implementation. Thus, Baikka Beel has received a special auspices as a permanent sanctuary and protected through a regional Resource Management Organization. The sanctuary, being the largest spawning area of the Hail Haor, has shown positive impacts on tourism, biodiversity and aquatic ecology increasing fish catches through the protection of parent stocks. Baikka Beel provides benefits to wetland environment, community, wildlife and fisheries sector very successfully.
