Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was scheduled to be held in India (Hyderabad) from 8th to 19th

October, 2012. Hosting of COP-11 by India, provided an excellent opportunity to bring national focus

on biodiversity and create mass awareness on various issues pertaining to it. Accordingly, Punjab

Biodiversity Board (PBB) in collaboration with Punjab State Council for Science & Technology and

Department of Education, Punjab and with the financial support National Biodiversity Authority, Govt. of

India, had organized Biodiversity Festival 2012 in Punjab by conducting two contests on biodiversity as

per the following details:

A) Documentation of Local Biodiversity by School Students

A unique contest on “Documentation of local biodiversity” by school students was organized by

Punjab Biodiversity Board. The entries were invited through District Science Supervisors (DSS) for the

contest from school students at block level. The main objective of the programme was to make

students aware about their local biological resources through documen1tation and to motivate &

encourage them to take concerted actions to conserve it. The participating students (Class VIII to XII)

were required to document their local biodiversity (block level) in the prescribed format (PBR template

provided by NBA) in English or Punjabi. The information on locally available plants, crops, fruit trees,

medicinal plants, domesticated & wild animals, birds etc. was to be enlisted along with their uses and

associated traditional knowledge (TK). The students were advised to take help of teachers, elders in

the family or experts in preparing the lists for their locality. Cash prizes for the district and state level

Introduction

The variety of genes, species and ecosystems which encompass populations, communities &

habitats constitute biological diversity. It forms the foundation upon which human civilization depends.

Biological resources are essential for maintaining the basic processes on which life depends and a key

to sustainable development. Bio-resources provide food, medicine and products of commercial and non

commercial use and also maintain life by providing environmental services like, air & water quality, soil

fertility, pest and disease control, waste disposal etc. Increasing human population, industrialization,

intensive agricultural & animal husbandry practices and over-exploitation of natural resources are,

however, leading to loss of biological resources.

With only 2.5% of land area of the world, India accounts for 7.8% of the global recorded species

especially because of its varied physiography, diverse climatic conditions and a variety of habitats. It is

one of the top 12 mega biodiversity countries and has 4 of 35 biodiversity hot spots in biodiversity rich

areas of the Western Ghats, Himalayas, Sundalands (Nicobar Islands) and Indo-Burma. The country is

estimated to have 49,000 plant species and 81,000 animal species representing 12.5% of the world’s

flora and 6.6% of its fauna. Punjab is one of the smaller states of India with an area of 50,362 sq. km

located in the north western part of the country. 84% of the State area is under agriculture. The State

traditionally had wide domesticated diversity of plants and animals but with intensive cultivation and

emphasis on high yielding varieties, the diversity in the farm sector has decreased considerably.

Though the state has only 6% area under forests, however, 1897 Angiosperms, 48 Pteridophytes, 34

Bryophytes, 948 Fungi and 397 Algae have been reported in the wild. Amongst faunal diversity the

state is especially rich in birds (428 species) and fishes (131 species) population.

Habitat destruction due to pressures of intensive agriculture, urbanization and industrialization is

causing serious threat to the biodiversity of the state. In order to conserve biodiversity (including

agriculture biodiversity), ensure its sustainable use and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out

of biological resources, the Punjab Government notified Punjab Biodiversity Board on 23rd December

2004 as a statutory body.

Punjab Biodiversity Board is persistently undertaking various activities to conserve and

document the biodiversity of the state. The 11th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP-11) the

Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was scheduled to be held in India (Hyderabad) from 8th to 19th

October, 2012. Hosting of COP-11 by India, provided an excellent opportunity to bring national focus

on biodiversity and create mass awareness on various issues pertaining to it. Accordingly, Punjab

Biodiversity Board (PBB) in collaboration with Punjab State Council for Science & Technology and

Department of Education, Punjab and with the financial support National Biodiversity Authority, Govt. of

India, had organized a biodiversity festival in Punjab by conducting two contests on biodiversity as per

the following details:

1. Documentation of local biodiversity by school students

2. Preparation of Biodiversity Mascot of Punjab
