He emphasized that Central and UT/State Governments have attempted for the in-situ conservation of biological resources all over India and at present, the UTs of J&K and Ladakh comprises of one Biosphere Reserve, 4 National Parks and 15 Wildlife Sanctuaries for the in-situ conservation of biological diversity. These protected areas cover different altitudinal zones ranging from tropical to alpine. He stated that development of conservation technologies of threatened/economically important plants will not only help in promoting mass cultivation in farmers fields but also, help in reducing pressure on wild stock.
