Abstract:
For much of the time man lived in a hunter-gather society and thus depended entirely on biodiversity for sustenance. But, with the increased dependence on agriculture and industrialization, the emphasis on biodiversity has decreased. Indeed, the biodiversity, in wild and domesticated forms, is the source for most of humanity, food, medicine, clothing and housing, much of the cultural diversity and most of the intellectual and spiritual inspiration. It is, without doubt, the very basis of life. Further that, a quarter of the earth’s total biological diversity amounting to 1.7 million species, which might be useful to mankind in one way or other, would be in serious risk of existence over the next 2-3 decades. On realization that the erosion of biodiversity may threaten the very existence of life has awakened man to take steps to conserve it. In this paper, the overview of biodiversity status of India, its importance, threats to it and various approaches for biodiversity conservation, action plan and current status have been discussed.

Abstract
This paper presents a RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous estimation of Paracetamol and Pamabrom in its synthetic mixture. The process was carried out on C₁₈ (250 x 4.6mm, 5µ) (Spincotech Pvt. Ltd.) column using Phosphate buffer pH 4.5: Acetonitrile (75:25 %v/v) where pH was maintained using 0.1% orthophosphoric acid as a mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.8ml/min. Detection wavelength was fixed at isobestic point 268 nm. Linearity was observed in the concentration range of 10-50 μg/ml for Paracetamol (r²=0.9986) and 15-75 μg/ml for Pamabrom (r²=0.9971). The retention time of Paracetamol and Pamabrom was found to be 2.665 and 6.907 minutes respectively with resolution 13.70. The developed method is simple, precise, specific, robust, rapid, reproducible, and sensitive and it can be used for estimation ofParacetamol and Pamabrom in its synthetic mixture.
