Biological Diversity Act, 2002: An Overview

India in 2002 enacted the Biological Diversity Act, 2002 (BD Act) that came into force entirely in 2004 primarily to give effect to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) held at Rio De Janeiro in 1992. India signed the CBD on June 5, 1992; ratified the Convention on February 18, 1994; and became a party to the same on May 19, 1994.

Statutory Provisions and Regulations Issued under BD Act, 2002

The main objective behind enacting the BD Act was to conserve Indian biological diversity, regulate access to Indian biological resources, ensure equitable benefit sharing arising from the utilization of those resources, and establish various governing bodies such as the National Biodiversity Authority (NBA) at the national level, the State Biodiversity Boards (SBBs) at the state level, and Biodiversity Management Committees (BMCs) at the local level.
