Divided into three sections, this book explores the three main
pillars of sustainable development, namely economy, environment
and society, and their interlinkages at the regional level. The
first section, Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) for sustainable
development, focuses on international agreements and national
legislation, as well as the challenges in implementing ABS in
e.g. India. In turn, the second section examines the process of
forming Biodiversity Management Committees (BMCs) at the Local
Self Government (LSG) level to promote environmental
sustainability, highlighting local and community-level
conservation initiatives that have led to the conservation of
habitats and species.

The third section addresses poverty eradication and food
security. The case studies included demonstrate how the
combination of traditional knowledge and modern techniques can
enhance the productivity of traditional crop varieties, yielding
greater benefits for communities.

The aim of this volume is to disseminate the lessons learned from
these case studies, as well as the findings from projects already
in place, which can offer recommendations that can be applied to
similar problems elsewhere in an attempt to find environmental
solutions for sustainable development. Further, it introduces
readers to new approaches to inclusive development, demonstrating
that participation and grass root empowerment are key drivers of
equitable and sustainable development.
