ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-III (Environment): Biodiversity governance. The issue is how to share benefits from biological resources fairly; the Biological Diversity Act, 2002 and the Nagoya Protocol provide the framework, operated through the NBA and State Biodiversity Boards. The implication is recognition of local communities' rights over resources and knowledge; the way forward is stronger State Boards, active Biodiversity Management Committees and timely benefit transfer.
