Goals and Targets: The NBSAP outlines 23 National Biodiversity Targets that align with the KM-GBF’s global objectives. These targets focus on reducing threats to biodiversity, ensuring sustainable use of resources, and enhancing tools for implementation. Each target is linked to specific strategies aimed at promoting ecosystem resilience, species recovery, and sustainable management practices. Implementation of NBSAP: The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) serves as the central agency responsible for coordinating biodiversity conservation efforts across India. Since the enactment of the Biological Diversity Act in 2002, the country has developed a multi-tier governance structure involving the National Biodiversity Authority (NBA), State Biodiversity Boards (SBBs), Union Territory Biodiversity Councils (UTBCs) and numerous Biodiversity Management Committees (BMCs). These bodies work collaboratively with local communities, particularly in forest-dependent areas, to manage and protect biodiversity. Furthermore, the Indian government actively incorporates biodiversity considerations into various sectors, engaging multiple ministries and stakeholders, including NGOs and international organizations/Non-State Actors. Conclusion: India’s NBSAP reflects a comprehensive approach to biodiversity conservation, integrating traditional practices with modern governance and collaborative strategies. The ongoing updates and stakeholder engagement underscore the country's commitment to maintaining its rich biodiversity while addressing contemporary environmental challenges. Continued efforts in capacity building, resource mobilization, and effective monitoring will be critical in achieving the set biodiversity targets and ensuring sustainable development for future generations.
