Conservation of biodiversity is a fundamental concern towards securing a sustainable future. This volume argues that despite various domestic and international policies and legal frameworks on biodiversity conservation — be it forest, wildlife, marine, coastal, etc. — their implementation suffers from many deficiencies. It explores the factors that hinder effective implementation of these policies and frameworks. It also analyses existing laws, both international and domestic, to identify inherent problems in the existing legal system. The book maintains that careful adherence to established procedures and protocols, public awareness, filling the lacuna in legal framework, and a strong political will are sine qua non for effective conservation of biodiversity and sustainable development. The volume defends the protection of traditional knowledge and participation of indigenous communities along with reinforcements of intellectual property in this regard. It also commends the role played by the Indian judiciary, especially the Supreme Court of India and India’s National Green Tribunal for the preservation and enhancement of natural resources by applying established as also evolving principles of environmental law.This book will be useful to scholars and researchers of environmental studies, development studies, policy studies and law related to biodiversity and conservation.

This groundbreaking volume offers an innovative exploration of sustainability challenges through complementary lenses that traditional approaches have often kept separate. It bridges the crucial gap between legal frameworks and technological innovations, providing essential insights into how governance, policy, and emerging technologies collectively drive sustainable development initiatives. The volume's distinctive interdisciplinary approach encompasses diverse themes, including renewable energy law, indigenous knowledge systems, gender justice, food security, and digital democracy. Featuring contributions from leading experts across the globe, the book balances theoretical discourse with practical application through illuminating case studies, judicial analyses, and policy evaluations.By combining scholarly rigor with accessible insights, this book is both an intellectual contribution to academic discourse and a practical guide for those working to shape a more sustainable future through the powerful integration of legal frameworks and technological innovation. It will be indispensable for students and academics seeking cutting-edge research; legal professionals navigating evolving regulatory landscapes; policymakers crafting effective sustainability frameworks; environmental activists pursuing systemic change; and corporate leaders implementing ESG compliance strategies.
