Hyderabad Declaration – Outcome of the National Youth Biodiversity Conference 2025
The Hyderabad Declaration represents the voice of youth and is the outcome of the National Youth Biodiversity Conference 2025, which brought together the collective aspirations, concerns, and solutions of young people. The youth delegates engaged in a collaborative process to identify challenges, explore solutions, and co-develop nine actionable recommendations.
- Train Youth in Sustainable Practices: Support Grassroots organizations to teach young people technical skills for using natural resources wisely and sustainably.
- Make Experimental Learning a Must in Schools: Schools should integrate hands-on learning to help children build a strong connection with nature.
- Raise Awareness Through Higher Education Institutes (HEIs): Partner with HEIs to educate youth about useful databases and technologies and how to use them responsibly in research.
- Preserve Traditional Knowledge and Create Livelihoods: Encourage the practices of traditional knowledge for sustainable living and livelihoods. If certain practices harm biodiversity, provide alternative livelihood options.
- Awareness of Biodiversity Laws: Conduct mobile legal awareness sessions in rural areas to educate locals about their rights and responsibilities. Leverage storytelling, art, and social media to simplify biodiversity laws and highlight laws and highlight real-life conservation efforts.
- Increase Youth Participation in Biodiversity Conservation: State Biodiversity Boards should organize youth conferences to boost youth engagement and involve experts from different fields to work together on biodiversity conservation.
This outcome is a call to action- urging policymakers, institutions, and society at large to recognize youth as key partners in biodiversity conservation and ensure their meaningful participation in shaping a sustainable future.
We thank the mentors, Enact Earth Foundations, and WWF-India for their guidance and support. A special thanks to the Telangana Biodiversity Board for creating this unique platform to amplify youth voices in biodiversity conservation.
Why the Conference on Biodiversity?
The main objective of the Telangana Biodiversity Board is-
- Conservation of Biological Diversity
- Sustainable utilization of the Biological Diversity
- The fair and equitable sharing of the benefit arising from the utilization of biological resources.
The conferences act like a bridge between an organization’s goals and individuals. The individuals interact with each other and try to learn similarities and differences between their places, cultures, traditions, environments, weather, and biodiversity. Sometimes, traditions also play a vital role in the conservation of biodiversity.
Conferences help individuals network with people with the same intentions. And it develops in a big chains. And a crowd can make a big change. “Change for a Cause“.
In Rajasthan, Bisnoi Samaj protect Black deer and worship them as God. This tradition saves the black deer in this region. So here Bisnoi Samaj are the protector of nature. To protect tree and forest area from deforestation, in the Himalayan region Chipko Movement started in 1970’s.
In Bihar / Jharkhand, people worship the Banyan Tree, the Ficus Tree, and Indian Lilac as symbols of God. They protect these trees, and these tree produces high levels of oxygen and fresh air.
In Bihar / Jharkhand, people worship the God Sun, and twice in a year, they celebrate Chath Puja. It is a very auspicious festival for all Biharis. And on this occasion, people and local NGO clean all water resources and our surroundings to complete the Puja neatly. Because of this festival every pond and river gets cleaned every year. In this process, locals and government officials join hand together.
Now is the correct time to connect Indians in a single frame. Climate change is hitting as hard. And we should fix our mistakes now before it’s too late. Learn the methods of biodiversity conservation, learn the methods of organic farming and sustainable life from old people. “Shop less and reuse more”.
Conclusion: National Youth Biodiversity Conference 2025
Conserving Biodiversity is our moral duty. We can save endangered plant species and give them space in our gardens, farms, and terraced gardens. In the start we serve plants and after some time they serve and feed us.
We are dependent on nature for our daily livelihood. But we need to ensure that we can take from nature within limits. Nature takes time to heal. So its the time to bring a strict rule for all industries and citizens to limit their uses.
Reusing things is the best way to reduce unnecessary waste and to save money. Solar energy and battery-operated vehicles are the best options for minimizing air pollution and reducing excessive coal mining.
Benefit sharing is a very needy step to take forward. If we take some samplings from other farmer, neighbour or friends. When it grows well and we start taking benefits from it, we should return some portion of it to the main owner from which we borrowed it. The benefits sharing can be in any form like in original form of it (seeds, plants or samplings) or money or can be any economical help.
Awareness programs should be conducted in every area to make people aware of their moral duties towards biodiversity. We start making people aware of the plants and species found in their local territory, their uses, behavior, and effects on nature. They will start loving them. They will give space to them in their home. Green Revolution will make a Change. The Green Revolution will bring happiness.
