National Biodiversity Authority (NBA)

The National Biodiversity Authority (NBA) is an Indian government organization that works to protect, conserve, and sustainably use the country’s rich biological resources, including plants, animals, and microorganisms. It ensures that any activities involving these resources—like research, commercial use, or transfer—are done responsibly and ethically, benefiting both the environment and local communities. The NBA also promotes awareness about biodiversity importance and enforces laws to prevent illegal collection or exploitation. Its role is to balance conservation with sustainable development, helping India preserve its natural heritage for future generations.
