In my professional capacity I deal with the part of the Ministry of Environment & Forests which is sort of in-charge of the Biodiversity Express. Must confess that I haven’t actually seen it myself, but I have a booklet (see attachment) with lots of interesting information, that I picked up from the CEE office at Paryavaran Bhavan.
