Academic Sector4.9 One of the important steps taken by theacademic sector in integrating biodiversity concernswith the existing programmes in universities andcolleges is the attempt to introduce concepts ofbiodiversity in the curricula. A few autonomousinstitutions have already taken this initiative. Effortsare being made by National Council of EducationalResearch and Training (NCERT) to include lessonson biodiversity inventorying in the biology textbooks of higher grades of schooling.4.10 The existing Centres of Excellence andCentres for Advanced Studies in Life Sciences arebeing strengthened by UGC and CSIR toundertake research and training activities inconservation of biodiversity. The Indian Academyof Science and Indian Institute of Science have jointlylaunched a countrywide programme called India’sLifescape.India’s Lifescape ProjectRecently, as part of countrywide biodiversity conservation initiatives to commemoratethe birth centenary of the late Dr SalimIndia’s foremost ornithologist and conservationist,a project has been launched by the Indian Academy of Sciences and the Indian Instituteof Science to develop simple tools to help students and teachers identify and monitorbiodiversity. This project has been called ‘India’s Lifescape’.The main objective of theto publish illustrated accounts ofscience education. It aimsIndian micro-organisms, plantsand animals. These accounts would high and post graduate studentsand teachers of biology reliablythese species and thereby constitute a basis forfield exercises and projects focusing on first hand observations of living organisms.The information thus generated could feed into a countrywide system of monitoring ongoingchanges in India’s lifescape to support efforts at conservation of biological diversity, as wellas control of pests, vectors and diseases. These accounts would also help create popularinterest in the broader spectrum of India’s biological wealth.51
