The Himachal Pradesh State Biodiversity Board (HPSBB) focuses on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity in Himachal Pradesh. Established under the Biological Diversity Act, 2002, the board regulates the use of biological resources, ensuring equitable sharing of benefits. It works through a three-tier structure involving national, state, and local levels, with initiatives like People’s Biodiversity Registers and Biodiversity Management Committees to document and manage local biodiversity knowledge.
