National
Biodiversity Authority of India is
celebrating International Day for Biological
Diversity (22-May-2009) in collaboration
with the Ministry of Environment & Forests
and Indian Council of Agricultural Research- Pusa, New Delhi. |
The NBA
encourages all organizations that deal in some way with
the issue to organize activities and events to celebrate
the IBD and to take advantage of it to raise public
awareness and showcase their work to prevent and manage
invasive alien species.
From January 2009, this website will carry case studies
and examples of invasive species and action against them
and will carry information on actions that we can all
take to help combat the problem. Information materials
posted on the site will include a booklet on IAS, a
poster, a logotype for use by partners and organizations
celebrating the IBD, a photo gallery as well as
information and education materials targeted at children
and youth.
The site will carry links to key international
organizations working on invasive alien species, key
regional networks and initiatives, networks and
initiatives at national level as well as to key
initiatives promoting information-sharing. It will also
provide links and information on regulations and
international agreements.
The site will carry information on celebrations being
planned and organizations in india and guidance on
organizing celebrations.
