ABSTRACT
This article discusses the concept of campus biodiversity initiative using the efforts of Symbiosis International University as a model system. It also indicates how campuses can contribute to the biodiversity conservation mission of Govt. of India, focusing on Campus Biodiversity conservation initiatives. As we know, a large chunk of green spaces and land cover is a part of Institutional and academic campuses, and campus biodiversity has a significant role. If appropriately managed, campus biodiversity may support as much, if not more, as any other urban green space and can be effectively maintained. Symbiosis International University can be taken as a model to replicate in other institutions. We also look at the gaps that are currently present in policy and possible solutions. Campuses should be managed periodically since they provide a vital breathing space for growing biodiversity
