India is one of the few mega biodiversity countries of the world. With only 2.4% of the world’s land area, India harbours 7-8% of all recorded species which includes 45000 species of plant and 91,000 species of animals. Taking cognizance of the provisions of the CBD and to manage our biological resources, Government of India enacted the Biological Diversity Act, 2002. Subsequently, the Biological Diversity Rules were notified in 2004. The act is to be implemented through a three tier decentralized mechanism i.e. at the National, State and Local body level. The National Biodiversity Authority (NBA) has been established at the national level with its headquarters in Chennai (Tamil Nadu). The State Biodiversity Boards (SBBs) have been formed at State level and Biodiversity Management Committees (BMC) are being constituted at the level of local bodies.
