The National Board for Wildlife is learnt to have recommended for clearance a number of key projects, including the international fencing on Bangladesh border.
The standing committee of Board, which met here during the last two days, cleared the pendency of a host of project, sources said.
Environment ministry sources said that the approved projects were of "national importance" and their approval was required for the "progress of the nation".
