Guidelines for Operati onalizati on of Biodiversity Management Committ ees (BMCs) v

"Biodiversity Conservation ..................... An art of living with nature"

ForewordBeing a member of the convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and its legal obligations, the enactment of Biological Diversity Act, 2002 and Biological Diversity Rules, 2004 heralded a new era in India to conserve, manage and share the benefi ts arising from the use of Biological resources. Th e various provision of the said Act/Rules, which are not only decentralized, development oriented and innovative but also provide ample opportunity to achieve the objectives by legally strengthening the hands of local communities.

National Biodiversity Authority, Biodiversity Board of States and Biodiversity Management Committees are the operational arms at Central, State and Local bodies respectively for implementing the provisions of the Act/Rules. Th e role of Biodiversity Management Committee for achieving the objectives is undoubtedly most crucial. Th e main function of the BMC is to document all kinds of bio-resources present in their area in “Peoples Biodiversity Register”. In addition to that, the committee also has to develop “Bio-cultural Community Protocol” in which diff erent features of the area such as ecology, culture and spirituality, traditional knowledge and local traditions related to the use of bio-resources are documented.

Access to genetic resource and benefi t sharing is a kind of agreement between the user and the provider of biological resource, in which the user agrees to share benefi ts with its provider in lieu of providing access to genetic material. As per rule, it is mandatory for any interested person/institution (user) to have “prior informed consent” (PIC) for Commercial use of biological resource from its provider (where genetic material is available). Th ereaft er, the user and the provider by mutual consent agree to certain terms and conditions known as “Mutually Agreed Terms” (MAT). Th ere can be diff erent modes of sharing benefi ts like royalty, joint venture, technology transfer, skill and capacity development etc.

In view of the crucial role of BMC in achieving the objectives of the act/rule, it is important to generate awareness among BMCs regarding their rights along with the roles and responsibilities. Keeping in view the above fact, the “Guidelines for the operationalization” of BMCs was issued by the National Biodiversity Authority. Th e eff ort made by Shri Dhananjay Prasad, Deputy Director in translating English version of the guidelines into Hindi is highly appreciated. I also congratulate Shri G.S. Pande, Member-Secretary and his entire team for publishing the said guideline in bi-lingual form.

I am sure that this guideline will not only help raising awareness among BMCs but also help in building the capacity of the committee to achieve the objectives of the act/rule eff ectively.

Guidelines for Operati onalizati on of Biodiversity Management Committ ees (BMCs) vii


IntroductionIn simple language, the word “Bio-diversity” encompasses the variety of all life forms on earth. Scientists have estimated that there are about 1.0 to 1.50 crore species living on our planet, out of which about 18 lakh species have so far been identifi ed by the scientists. At present, about 727 crore human population resides on earth. It has been estimated that there is an annual global increase of about 8 crore population. Th erefore, there is an increase of about 100 crore population in every 12 years period. It has also been estimated that by the year 2050, the world population may cross 1000 crore. Several recent scientifi c studies indicate that earth resources are enough to sustain about 300 crore human population. As a result of cumulative anthropogenic pressure on earth, we are losing our precious natural and bio-resources.

Dwindling biological resource due to anthropogenic pressure led to the establishment of Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) at Rio de Janeiro in Brazil during ‘Earth Summit’ in 1992. Th e CBD came into force in 1993 and 194 countries including India are party to this Convention. Conservation of Biodiversity, sustainable use of its components and fair & equitable sharing of bene� ts arising from the use of Genetic Resources are the three main objectives of CBD.

Despite having 2.7% of the land area, 4% of fresh water, 17 % of human and 18% of livestock population of the world, India is one of the 17 identifi ed mega bio-diverse countries of the world. Undoubtedly, it is a matter of pride for all Indians. In view of the international obligation and to achieve the three main objectives of the convention, Biological Diversity Act, 2002 and Biological Diversity Rules, 2004 were notifi ed by the Govt. of India. Its implementation is to be carried out by three bodies functioning at three diff erent levels, i.e. National Biodiversity Authority at the Central, State Biodiversity Boards at Provincial and Biodiversity Management Committees at the local level.

Coming into existence on 9th November 2000, Uttarakhand is very rich in biodiversity. Sprawling over an area of 53,483 Sq. km, the state has 13 Districts, 78 Tehsils, 95 Development Blocks, 7227 Gram Panchayats and 15761 Villages. As per 2011 census, the state has a population of 1.01 crore. About 71% of the total area of the state is forest land and 46% is under forest cover. Several kinds of climate, topography and the altitude provide varied kinds of habitat for fl ora & fauna. Apart from having the origin of Ganga and Yamuna, the two most holy rivers, the state is also known for its pilgrimage and fascinating mountainscape.

Th e sacred relationship of the residents with nature is the speciality of the state. Th e conservation of Biodiversity is an art of living and the harmony with nature is their cultural heritage. Nearly 1500 species of medicinal plants have traditionally been used in folk system of medicine for up keep of their health as well as their domesticated animals. Th e use of plants as source of herbal medicine is very much prevalent in the traditional health care systems as a part of their cultural landscape.

Guidelines for Operati onalizati on of Biodiversity Management Committ ees (BMCs) ix


As per section 41(1) of Biological diversity Act 2002, it is expected to create Biodiversity Management committees (BMCs) at every local body level. Apart from 7227 Gram Panchayats, BMCs also need to be created in 03 Municipal Corporations, 32 Municipal Councils, and 30 Urban Panchayats of the state. It is a vast programme requiring large number of human resource. Keeping that in view, G.O. 1141/x-3-13-08(18)/2010 dated 19.11.2013 was issued by the Government of Uttarakhand vide which the Divisional Forest Offi cers within their area of jurisdiction have been declared/nominated as Nodal Offi cers whereas Deputy Ranger/Forester or Forest Guard have been declared as Secretary of the BMCs.

For constituting BMC at Gram Panchayat level, fi rst of all, a general body meeting shall be called up by the Pradhan of that Gram Panchayat in which 06 members including 02 women and 01 person belonging to SC/ST category shall be nominated. Th ereaft er, the 06 nominated members shall elect a Chairperson from amongst themselves in the same meeting. In this manner, the 07 members Biodiversity Management Committee shall be constituted representing 02 women members, 01 member belonging to SC/ST category, 01 Secretary nominated by the Nodal Offi cer/D.F.O and 03 other members.

Th e main function of the BMC is to document all kinds of biological resource present in their area in “Peoples Biodiversity Register”. Th e term “Biological resource” includes plants, animals and micro organisms or parts thereof, their genetic material and by-products (excluding value added products and human genetic material). Detailed guidelines have been issued by National Biodiversity Authority, Chennai for the preparation of Peoples Biodiversity Register. In addition to that, the committee is also expected to develop “Bio-cultural Community Protocol” (BCP). In the protocol diff erent features of the area such as ecology, culture and spirituality, traditional knowledge and local traditions related to the use of bio-resources are documented. Apart from this, clear terms and conditions are also provided to regulate the access and benefi t sharing mechanism.

Access to genetic resource and benefi t sharing is a kind of agreement between the user and the provider of biological resource, in which the user agrees to share benefi ts with its provider in lieu of providing access to genetic material. It is mandatory for any interested person/institution (user) to have “Prior Informed Consent” (PIC) for commercial use of biological resource from its provider (where genetic material is available). Th ereaft er, the user and the provider agree by mutual consent to certain terms and conditions known as “Mutually Agreed Term” (MAT). Th ere can be diff erent mode of sharing benefi ts like royalty, joint venture, technology transfer, capacity and skill development etc. In this manner, the Biodiversity Management Committee can be benefi ted by developing Bio-cultural Community Protocol. Th e fund generated by way of ABS shall be deposited in the local Biodiversity fund of BMC which shall be utilized for conserving the Biodiversity and related activities of the area.

Guidelines for Operati onalizati on of Biodiversity Management Committ ees (BMCs) 3


SECTION–1 : OPERATIONAL ASPECTS

1.1 Role of State Biodiversity Boards, Institutions and Civil Society in the formation of Biodiversity Management CommitteesTh e process of BMC formation would involve all the stakeholders in the Gram Sabha including tribal groups and other marginalized communities to ensure an eff ective consultative process to meet the requirements of the state and local conditions.

Biodiversity Management Committees formation can possibly be mediated through institutions or civil society organizations or Technical Support Group (TSGs). Potential areas rich in biodiversity and locations where there is popular interest or support should be identifi ed and BMCs established. Th e Member-Secretary should get approval from the State Biodiversity Board for forming BMCs. Technical Support Groups can extend all possible help in identifi cation, formation and operationalization of BMCs.

Th e State Biodiversity Boards may require a percentage of the funds earmarked for the establishment of each Biodiversity Management Committees. Th is may include costs incurred by the SBBs in involving civil society organizations and TSGs in identifying potential areas for BMC formation.

Th e Local body shall make eff orts to integrate BMCs to other village level committees related to natural resources management.

1.2 Integration of Biodiversity Management Committees to other village committees related to natural resource managementTh e Biodiversity Management Committees will be constituted by the local body with members of the participatory forest/natural resources management committee members, including from members of Horticulture/Vaids/ Foot Botanist/Tribal heads etc. based on the local conditions. Th e SBB should issue suggestive list of persons to be included in the BMC. Th e representation may be fl exible to meet the local requirements.

Th e Biodiversity Management Committees may also draw its members from amongst the existing committees which have been formed under statutory powers/administrative orders of the respective Governments.
