The idea addresses the problem of status of biodiversity in urban and rural areas and provides an effective framework for its conservation and management. The toolkit is about collaboration of different inter-related ideologies and concepts which are brought into a complete framework and when applied together can provide significant output to conservation of biodiversity in urban areas. It will act as a single window entity where all the stakeholders including volunteers, NGOs, government institutions and local government could work together at their respective planning and administrative levels and help to enhance the quality of the biodiversity as well as its conservation by mainstreaming different processes and methods.
