Ghosh, a scientist at the Center for Study of Man and Environment and the Centre for Environment and Development in Kolkata, provides a thorough examination of biodiversity status, uses, and conservation strategies. The book covers essential topics including community-based biodiversity conservation, access and transfer of genetic resources, benefit-sharing mechanisms, institutional support, capacity building, databases, and traditional knowledge. It also includes valuable annexures on the Biodiversity Act 2002, Biodiversity Rules 2004, threatened animals of India, gene banks, and mega-diverse countries.
