Access and Benefit Sharing for Biodiversity Conservation

Heatwaves are no longer climate anomalies; they are the new normal. As India enters an era of prolonged, intense, and unpredictable thermal extremes, its rural backbone is showing signs of distress. I...
India, a nation perched precariously on one of the most active seismic belts in the world, faces a curious paradox: despite mounting geological evidence and rising urban vulnerability, public understa...
Heatwaves have become one of the most lethal and least acknowledged consequences of climate change in India. What was once an occasional extreme is now a defining feature of India’s seasonal climate,...
Globally, there is a serious resource gap in financing biodiversity conservation. Access and benefit sharing provides for an innovative financial mechanism. In India the mechanism has helped mobilise...
The risk of climate change is universal but the poor are more vulnerable with worsening food security and exacerbating hunger in developing countries. Climate change is also likely to affect species d...
The Indian medical heritage flows in two streams—folk and scholarly. The first is an immensely diverse, ecosystem specific, community based tradition and the other a codified one, yet both are symbiot...
Antarctic and Arctic are inhabited by organisms adapted to live in extreme environmental conditions. The capabilities of these life forms offer an insight into complex life processes. India, realising...
Globally, there is a serious resource gap in financing biodiversity conservation. Access and benefit sharing provides for an innovative financial mechanism. In India the mechanism has helped mobilise around INR 110 crore.
The risk of climate change is universal but the poor are more vulnerable with worsening food security and exacerbating hunger in developing countries. Climate change is also likely to affect species distribution and increase the threat of extinction and loss of biodiversity.
The Indian medical heritage flows in two streams—folk and scholarly. The first is an immensely diverse, ecosystem specific, community based tradition and the other a codified one, yet both are symbiotically related with around 6,581 medicinal botanicals.
