Section 36

Source-derivedCentral

Official source

Summary

Requires the Central Government, in consultation with State Governments and Union territories, to develop national strategies, plans and programmes for conservation, promotion and sustainable use of biological diversity — including identification and monitoring of biodiversity-rich areas, in situ and ex situ conservation, and incentives for research, training and public education. Where an area is threatened by overuse, abuse or neglect, the Central Government must direct the State Government to take immediate ameliorative measures and offer technical and other assistance, and it must integrate conservation and sustainable use into sectoral policies and cross-sectoral plans.
