He said the DTCF with the active support of the National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) and the Energy and Resources Institute (ERI) would encash the carbon credit certificates in the “carbon bazaar”.

Pathak said the encashment is expected to bring in Rs 10-15 crore in the next one to two years, which would be utilised in the conservation of Dudhwa forests, its ecology and wildlife and the development of tribal people.
