Dear Sir/Madam,

         DOCUMENTATION CENTRE OF THE BIODIVERSITY UNIT,
    JAWAHARLAL NEHRU CENTRE FOR ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

     JNCASR,  a  sister  organisation  of  Indian  Institute   of
Science,  India's leading scientific research institute,  focuses
on  selected  areas  of topical significance.  One  of  these  is
biodiversity  and  the unit is engaged in laboratory  studies  on
microbial  diversity,  and  field  research  programmes,  in  the
Western Ghats and the Himalaya.

     The  Biodiversity  Unit  is also working  closely  with  the
Government  of  India's Ministry of Environment  and  Forests  in
analysing  a  number  of policy issues  arising  out  of  India's
accession  to the Convention on Biological Diversity. In fact,  I
serve  as the Government of India nominee to the Subsidiary  Body
on   Scientific,  Technical  and  Technological  Advice  to   the
Convention. In this context the Biodiversity Unit has established
a  documentation centre, which already has the beginnings  of  an
excellent  collection  of  documents  pertaining  to  issues   of
inventorying,  monitoring,  sustainable  use,  conservation   and
benefit  sharing. Facilities of the Biodiversity Unit are  widely
used  by  a  large number of visitors from  all  over  India  and
abroad;  and  the Unit has organized a series  of  workshops  and
training programmes over the last three years.

     I would be most grateful, therefore, if you would be so kind
as  to send us a full set of relevant literature  available  with
your organisation, as well as keep us on the mailing list.
