For Biodiversity governance, the biodiversity management committees (BMCs) are the loci to the conservation initiatives of the Board and will anchor the local level actions. The local bodies viz. Zilla Panchayats/Janapad Panchayats/Gram Panchayats & Gram Sabhas, Municipal Panchayats, Municipalities and Municipal Corporations shall setup the BMC. Alternatively, the local body can get one of its' existing committees or general body to act as BMCs. Alongwith BMCs the eco-regional Support Groups (ESG) and the District level technical support groups (TSG) are multi-actor platforms at eco-regional and district level respectively facilitating governance.
