The India Biodiversity Awards is a joint initiative by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, National Biodiversity Authority and the United Nations Development Programme. It is an innovative mechanism to identify and recognize the efforts of individuals, communities and institutions working towards biodiversity conservation, sustainable use of biological resources, access and benefit sharing and biodiversity governance.

Following its success, the second, third and fourth India Biodiversity Awards were held in 2014, 2016 and 2018 respectively in partnership with the National Biodiversity Authority.

The awards were institutionalised by the National Biodiversity Authority in 2017. UNDP continues to serve as Knowledge Partner.
