The authority is the National Biodiversity Authority.
Section 8 of the Biological Diversity Act, 2002 requires the Central Government to establish the National Biodiversity Authority, headquartered at Chennai. It regulates access to biological resources and associated knowledge, approves transfers of research results and applications for intellectual property based on them, and advises the government.
State Biodiversity Boards operate at the state level, and there is no 'Central Biodiversity Commission' or 'Union Biodiversity Board' under the Act. The National Bio-Gas Board is unrelated.
