Abstract: This paper deals with Biodiversity research for sustainable development is interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary which is relatively new to the India. The argument for it and characterization of what it should be is thus derived partly from the failure of the traditional research approach, sometimes called “lessons learned”, to effectively provide relevant knowledge support to biodiversity conservation. On the other hand, biodiversity research for sustainable development has recently been initiated in the country from which empirical data can be gathered on the character and process of such a research approach, and which ones work. This paper deals with concern about biodiversity research, biodiversity research in sustainable livelihood frame work and major objectives of biodiversity research programme. It outlines the need for collaborative biodiversity research and its implications and issues in biodiversity research. This paper concludes with some policy measures towards biodiversity conservation. Biodiversity, ecosystems and the essential services that they deliver are Central pillars for all life on the planet, including human life. They are sources of food and essential nutrients, medicines and medicinal compounds, fuel, energy, livelihoods and cultural and spiritual enrichment. Deforestation should be strictly prohibited. Environmental laws should be followed strictly. The useful and endangered species of plants and animals should be conserved in their nature as well as artificial habitats. Public awareness should be created regarding biodiversity conservation and its importance
