For quite a few years since
the Rio-Summit, 1992 there have been discussions at various
local forum about the requirement of a capable institution
to take care of the rich biodiversity of Manipur and its
surrounding areas. The inclusion of the North East Region
in the list of Mega-biodiversity hotspots of the world
caused an ever increased fillip to the researchers, resource
planners, environmental enthusiasts and the local think-
tanks about stopping depletion of biodiversity in the
region and finding scientific ways of sustainable uses
of bioresources. More |
