“In the current year being the Sixth cycle of BSIP has selected 24 BSIP interns and placed them in various State Biodiversity Boards (SBBs) and Union Territory Biodiversity Councils (UTBCs) for learning Biodiversity Conservation hands on and support SBBs/UTBCs in their functioning,” NBA said.
Under the BSIP, candidates are allotted to State Biodiversity Boards (SBBs) or UTBCs to participate in meetings, organise programmes, and conduct field studies.
The board also provides opportunities to interested interns to continue to undergo internship for two more years to increase their knowledge and skill in biodiversity conservation.
The one-year internship programme was started in partnership with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), NBA and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to develop a cadre of trained young professionals through hands-on field engagement.
The interns are selected through an all-India process and deployed across states, and union territories to support biodiversity conservation initiatives and assist SBBs, and UTBCs.
