In the context of Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) agreement under the Nagoya Protocol to the Convention on Biological Diversity, what is Digital Sequence Information (DSI)? How does DSI complicate the traditional method of managing ABSs? In this light, delineate the provisions of the new Biological Diversity Information (Access and Benefit Sharing) Regulation 2025.

Creates complications in traditional ABS management: 1. Causes data security risks due to cyberattacks 2. Leads to info offloading of data which hinders current interests 3. Significant lack of resources for Biodiversity Management will lead to slow adoption of digital technology 4. High storage requirements due to large costs hamper widespread adoption by developing nations Biological Diversity (Access and Benefit Sharing) Regulation 2025: 1. India's response to implement DSI 2. Mandates Independent authority to oversee and manage DSI implementation 3. Specifies information sharing norms for ABS system 4. Promotes institutional cooperation with international standard organizations while managing national efforts

in its biodiversity efforts 1. Mandates Independent authority to oversee and manage DSI implementation 2. Specifies information sharing norms for ABS system 3. Promotes institutional cooperation with international standard organizations while managing national efforts Hence India must take prompt and sustainable action to manage ABS under DSI.
