Kochi: Former Supreme Court judge V.R. Krishna Iyer has stressed the need for educating the judges and the Bar about the new developments in the field of law such as the Biological Diversity Act. Inaugurating a seminar on ‘Biodiversity Conservation and Development - the Challenges and Possible Solutions’ organised by the Kerala State Biodiversity Board, Indian Law Institute, Kerala branch and Lawyers Environmental Awareness Forum (LEAF), Mr. Iyer said that preservation of ecology was very important.
Delivering the key-note address, Chief Justice S.R. Bannurmath said the judiciary had played a dynamic role in the preservation of the ecology.

Vijayan, Chairman, Kerala State Biodiversity Board, said the genetically modified (GM) crops or food would not solve hunger and malnutrition.
