Biodiversity Clubs

Kerala State Biodiversity Board (KSBB) has been proactively fostering environmental stewardship through the establishment of Biodiversity Clubs in schools and colleges across Kerala. Designed to nurture biodiversity consciousness among the youth, this flagship initiative has successfully registered over 2,000 clubs to date, creating a vibrant network of young conservation advocates across the state.

KSBB provides comprehensive technical guidance and financial assistance to these clubs, ensuring robust capacity building and the effective implementation of conservation activities at the grassroots level. To further encourage excellence and active participation, KSBB has instituted the prestigious ‘Best Biodiversity Club Award’, recognizing outstanding contributions in biodiversity documentation, restoration, and awareness campaigns.
