Threats & obstacles in conservation of biodiversity in Manipur

Definition of Biodiversity: As per the Convention of Biological Diversity 1992 ‘Biological diversity’ means the variability among living organisms from all sources including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are a part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems. Biodiversity is a compound word derived from ‘Biological diversity’ and therefore considered to have the same meaning.

Sovereignty or within Constitution?

It’s getting murkier and murkier. Ambivalence and ambiguity have attained indecipherable degrees. Whereas the Government of India has been steadfastly asserting that the political dialogue with the NSCN-IM is within the ambit of the Constitution of India, NSCN-IM leadership has been insisting that the dialogue process is an unconditional one. Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju had went on record stating that the NSCN-IM had given up its demand for sovereignty and the rebel outfit wants a “solution within the Constitution of India”. But recently, NSCN-IM General Secretary Thuingaleng Muivah in an interview given to The Hindu categorically stated that they have not given up the demand for Naga sovereignty. He stated, “…The understanding on shared sovereignty has been arrived at because the uniqueness of Naga history is recognised…” Even though the Government has not so far made any comment on the purported point of agreement which according to the NSCN-IM is shared sovereignty, the outfit’s leadership has asserted that the Government of India has agreed to the proposals/demands for separate passports and flags for Nagas. Sharply contradicting Th Muivah’s assertion on sovereignty, one officer of the Home Ministry said that it was a blatant lie. As published by the First Post, the officer dismissed Muivah’s claim by bluntly saying “The sovereignty issue is long dead and gone”. Given all these contradictory and incompatible statements, the dialogue process or more precisely the Framework Agreement signed between the Government of India and NSCN-IM remains an enigma or a political riddle.
