About the Conference
The Cit Sci conference for biodiversity in India is organised under the umbrella of the Biodiversity Collaborative, a network of institutions and individuals whose shared vision is to promote biodiversity science in India and its application in conservation and sustainable development with a focus on enhancing human well-being. Earlier editions of the conference were conducted as part of a preparatory phase of the National Mission on Biodiversity and Human Well-Being (NMBHWB). The conference is generously supported by our partners in different ways. The echo network supports all communication activities, ensuring effective outreach and engagement. The World Wide Fund for Nature – India provides funding for the development of our website, and the Nature Conservation Foundation provides funding for the IT support, ensuring the smooth operation of the online conference.
