Conserving biodiversity for future: some
pointers and challanges

We have Choices
• Do we walk on this root bridge, made by
people, their knowledge, or navigate our way
on a modern bridge, staircase or do both
• Bridges between formal and informal science,
technology and innovation systems
• Tracking bridge development rather than just
what lies on each side of the bridge,
• Tracking the river of life which is not being
illuminated by both the banks equally

Way ahead
• Longitudinal research: building theories and
models for tropical countries
• Working plans in Forest to focus on
annuals/herbs more than just the timber
• Rethinking plans for in situ value addition
• Innovation mapping, supporting and seeking –
challenge awards
• Forest-guards/village youth/ to become eyes and
ears for mapping community knowledge

• register of old trees and making CHILDREN
custodian of conservation
• Linking post offices, Railway and Nrega etc.,
with mapping the ecological mind of masses
• Crowd sourcing for Climate change
perceptions
• Revitalizing cprs e.g. bird feeding platforms,
lakes, grazing lands
• Engaging with tribal youth through a new
social contract

BIODIVERSITY BASED KNOWLEDGE
SYSTEMS AND GRASSROOTS
INNOVATIONS:
– In-situ value addition: One of the major reasons for
persistent poverty, social strife and despondency
among local tribal and other communities living in and
around forest regions is almost lack of in-situ value
addition in various biodiversity based materials. Some
people suggest that the relationship of the state with
these regions is almost like internal colonialism.
Several steps have been taken in the past by DST,
MOEF and MORD to develop technologies for
vegetative dyes, oil of non-edible and edible tree
based oil seeds, etc. However, complete value chain
remains to be established.

Building Value chain through
mind, machines, and markets
– In 12th Five Year Plan, one should have aimed at 50
per cent reduction in the trade of raw material unless
valorized locally. It will require development of post
harvest processing machinery, fractional distillation
apparatus for generating library of phytochemicals
and herbal extracts, electronic catalogues and a
vigorous partnership with private sector to generate
value added supply chain. NIF can try to leverage its
MOU with Futures Group, Yuwan longlife pvt ltd and
R and B, dsm etc., to create market for value added
innovative products developed through this
programme.

– NIF wishes to partner with NBRI and other related
institutions for validation and value addition in at
least 5000 distinctive claims of local communities
per year . This will include energy and other
mechanical and electrical technological
innovations as well.
– NIF would help in filing at least 500 patents per
year, some as defensive patents

Dissemination
– Dissemination of socially useful public domain
technologies developed by the grassroots innovators ( and
may be others in due course) through mass channels like
postal or railway department as mentioned next; but also
through Krishi Vigyan Kendra network of ICAR. Unless large
scale demonstration/trials takes place, demand for even
proven affordable technologies cannot be generated.
Similarly programmes/campaign on radio/TV/print media
may be planned for creating wider social awareness and
results on the ground. Resources for widespread
demonstration and trials don’t exist. Assumption is that
some solutions exist, but resources don’t, hence the need
for a vigorous beginning

Railway network
•
• Mining the minds of masses: Massive
engagement with masses for sourcing and
sinking ideas
– About 15 to 20 million people travel by train every day
and yet we have not harnessed their imagination for
generating ideas to solve problems of every day life.
Nor have we shared with them the ideas that they can
use without much transaction costs and expert
knowledge. It is proposed that a partnership is forged
with Indian Railways to source and spread ideas for
larger social good.

Postal network
– There are one lac post offices and about 6.5 lac inhabited
villages. There is no better way of mapping the creativity
of the masses than engaging with the postmaster and
postman, the most credible grassroots functionary. All the
open source technologies can be shared through wall
newspaper, Bluetooth, broadcasting stations using mobile
networks, door-to-door survey by the postmen and
women with incentives for every accepted innovation and
/or traditional knowledge practice. Never before a
civilisational society has attempted a bigger engagement
with grassroots. Since this is aimed at triggering
experimental ethic and entrepreneurial culture, the role of
government is to enrich the choices of local communities
to try things out at their level with very low cost of failure.

Climate change, poverty, biodiversity
“Overwhelming scientific evidence implicates greenhouse gases generated by
human activity in changing the global climate. Simultaneously, record
numbers of people subsist in poverty and massive biodiversity losses
continue largely unabated. Making matters worse, these challenges
reinforce one another. Climate change can exacerbate poverty and
accelerate biodiversity loss. Poverty often forces local people to exploit
their environment unsustainably. And degraded environments in turn can
contribute to poverty and hasten climate change”.
First ever standards linking climate change, biodiversity and poverty seek global peer review,
08.06.2004, http://www.innovations-report.de/html/berichte/umwelt_naturschutz/bericht-
30050.html

Process:
The biodiversity is high in the rain forests,
mountains, some of the arid and semi arid
areas, humid areas, primarily due to diversity
in soil, climate and other physical and social
structures.

Why do markets for diversity not arise?
( except wine, cheese, honey to some extent)
Can innovations help?

Why demand for diverse colors, tastes, shapes and
qualities of natural products not exist?.

Bread, beer and wine:
Saccharomyces cerevisiae diversity reflects human history,
JEAN-LUC LEGRAS, DIDIER MERDINOGLU, JEAN-MARIE CORNUET,RANCIS KARST, Molecular
Ecology,
16 (10) 2091-2102, May 2007
• Fermented beverages and foods have played a significant role in
most societies worldwide for millennia.
• To better understand how the yeast species Saccharomyces
cerevisiae, the main fermenting agent, evolved along this
historical and expansion process, we analysed the genetic
diversity among 651 strains from 56 different geographical
origins, worldwide. Their genotyping at 12 microsatellite loci
revealed 575 distinct genotypes organized in subgroups of yeast
types, i.e. bread, beer, wine, sake. Some of these groups
presented unexpected relatedness:

• However, up to 28% of genetic diversity between these technological
groups was associated with geographical differences which suggests local
domestications.
• Focusing on wine yeasts, a group of Lebanese strains were basal in an FST
tree, suggesting a Mesopotamia-based origin of most wine strains.
• In Europe, migration of wine strains occurred through the Danube Valley,
and around the Mediterranean Sea. An approximate Bayesian
computation approach suggested a postglacial divergence (most probable
period 10 000–12 000 bp). As our results suggest intimate association
between man and wine yeast across centuries, we hypothesize that yeast
followed man and vine migrations as a commensal member of grapevine
flora.

Five key lessons from the experience
of honey bee network
a) Building a regional, national, and international
registry of traditional knowledge and innovations
based on biodiversity may help in reducing
transaction costs of the potential entrepreneurs,
investors, fellow learning communities and even
traders;

Grassroots to global( G 2 G),
new mantra
• So far the globalisation has meant generally squeezing of
spaces for small innovators and entrepreneurs. It has been by
and large a one-way street. The Honey Bee Network has been
trying to reverse this process. It is trying to create a new
ethics and institutional culture in which grassroots
innovations developed by often uneducated or less educated
or valorised to address global as well as local demands.
• Already the innovative products from Indian grassroots have
reached five continents. But, a great deal remains to be done.
•

Poor not just as consumers alone, but as
providers
• the mechanism of mentoring small, scattered and disconnected innovators
without access to much education, banking or communication systems is not easy.
Distributed mentoring is a challenge that we have to meet, if Grassroots to Global
(G2G) has to become an international reality. In other words, if triangle of linking
innovation, investment and enterprise has to be formed across the world, then
transaction costs of each actor will have to be reduced considerably using on-line
and off line platforms (see Tianjin declaration, China, May 31, 2007,
www.sristi.org).
• Assume that a Norwegian entrepreneur selects an innovation from India and
wants to set up an enterprise in South Africa with investment from say, US, then a
G2G model would have come about. Likewise, if entrepreneurs in developed
countries can find applications for ideas of grassroots innovators in third world,
then a poverty alleviation model will emerge which would look at poor as provider
of solutions. Diversity, development, dignity will manifest when ethics, equity,
excellence, efficiency, empathy, environment and education fuse.
