Advt. No. WII/DEAN-FWS/NBSAP/130/2013

Revision of the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) Terms of Reference for engaging Consultant (One) and Project Associates (Two) The Wildlife Institute of India (WII) has been assigned the responsibility by the Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF) and the National Biodiversity Authority (NBA) to undertake revision of the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP). The National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) preparation is an obligation on all countries that are a signatory to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The NBSAP is a macro-level statement of existing policies and programmes, gaps, and further actions needed for conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. India prepared the National Biodiversity Action Plan (NBAP) in 2008-09. The CBD has urged the countries to review, update and revise as appropriate their NBSAPs in accordance with the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and the Aichi Targets.

It is therefore proposed to update and revise India’s NBSAP so as to align our national targets with the Aichi Targets in consultation with various stakeholders.
