Convention
of Biodiversity (CBD) Conference of Parties (COP-11) is being organized
in Hyderabad currently where 193 countries negotiate on issues
surrounding biodiversity conservation and access to biodiversity &
sharing benefits there from, utilization of traditional knowledge,
finance mechanism to fund conservation, etc.

whole process is very complicated and the words are beyond

Society (BNHS) writing regularly for their publication “Hornbill”. The
excerpts of the conversation are shared below:
