The Biodiversity Act

The Biodiversity Act is a law aimed at protecting and conserving the variety of life on Earth—plants, animals, fungi, and ecosystems. It establishes rules for using biological resources responsibly, ensuring fair sharing of benefits from their use, especially when they’re used for research or commercial purposes. The Act also promotes conservation efforts, protects endangered species, and involves local communities in preserving biodiversity. Overall, it seeks to balance sustainable development with the preservation of nature’s diversity for future generations.
