The Andhra Pradesh State Biodiversity Board is committed to the conservation of our state's rich biological heritage through scientific research, community engagement, and sustainable development practices. We work to protect endangered species, preserve natural habitats, and maintain ecological balance.
Our mission extends beyond conservation to include the sustainable utilization of biodiversity resources that provide livelihoods, healthcare, and economic opportunities for local communities while ensuring these resources remain available for future generations.
We envision an Andhra Pradesh where biodiversity is valued, protected, and sustainably managed to support healthy ecosystems, thriving communities, and a resilient economy. Our vision includes creating a network of protected areas, promoting green technologies, and integrating biodiversity considerations into all sectors of development.
By 2030, we aim to establish Andhra Pradesh as a model state for biodiversity conservation, where natural resources are managed wisely, traditional knowledge is preserved, and benefits from biological resources are shared equitably with local communities.
Protect and restore critical habitats, endangered species, and ecological corridors. Establish 50 new protected areas and reduce threats to biodiversity by 60% by 2030.
Promote sustainable harvesting practices, eco-tourism, and biodiversity-based livelihoods. Increase community participation in conservation by 80% and create 10,000 green jobs.
Ensure fair sharing of benefits from biological resources with local communities. Implement Access and Benefit Sharing mechanisms across all 13 districts by 2025.
Strengthen institutional capacity, complete biodiversity inventories, and establish baseline data for all ecosystems.
Scale up conservation programs, establish new protected areas, and implement sustainable use policies across sectors.
Mainstream biodiversity across all development sectors and establish monitoring systems for all conservation targets.
