Hyderabad: With the mega global biodiversity meet in October approaching, the Andhra Pradesh Government has set in motion a series of initiatives, both preparatory and commemorative.
The Government plans to establish a museum on bio-diversity to commemorate the global Convention on Biodiversity (CBD). Similarly, it wants to put up a pylon and develop a bio-diversity park ahead of the Conference of Parties (CoP-11).
The mega event will see about 8,000 delegates from 193 countries take part. About 10 heads of nations, apart from forest ministers of 90-100 countries will deliberate on various issues.
The State Chief Minister, Mr Kiran Kumar Reddy, who reviewed a preparatory meeting, said the bio-diversity park should be established at a suitable location, preferably in Dulapally reserve forest area on the outskirts of Hyderabad.
The objective of these initiatives is to create awareness among the people, especially students and children, about the rich biological heritage and importance of conservation.
