The weight those criteria estimated using FUCOM while taking into account varied judgements four decision makers. MABAC subsequently adopted shortlisted India. also identifies strengths weaknesses each considered This approach singles out Namdapha NP Manas as two best India, whereas, Nanda Devi Pin Valley laggards having several unfavourable These performing can act benchmarks underperforming so make them better habitats diversified species, more attractive domestic foreign visitors. outcome analysis would propose adaptive concerned authorities effectively allocating scarce resources, promoting accountability transparency, encouraging participative roles community, values NPs, thereby achieving biological diversity sustainability goals.
