Biodiversity Management Committees (BMCs) are constituted by every local body — Gram Panchayats, Municipalities and Municipal Corporations — under Section 41 of the Biological Diversity Act, 2002.
BMCs are responsible for promoting conservation, sustainable use and documentation of biological diversity, including preservation of habitats, land races, folk varieties, domesticated stocks and breeds of animals and micro-organisms, and chronicling of knowledge relating to biological diversity.
BSBB provides handholding support to BMCs across Bihar, including training on preparation of People's Biodiversity Registers (PBRs), record-keeping, and Access & Benefit Sharing (ABS).
