Biodiversity Act

The Biodiversity Act is a law that aims to protect and preserve the variety of plants, animals, and ecosystems in a country. It ensures sustainable use of biological resources, supports conservation efforts, and regulates access to genetic material and traditional knowledge. The act promotes fair sharing of benefits derived from biodiversity, involving local communities, researchers, and industries. Its goal is to maintain ecological balance, support ecological and economic stability, and prevent exploitation that could harm natural habitats or indigenous knowledge systems.
