description In this paper the status of biological diversity in the country is examined in the context of the forest ecosystem, wildlife, livestock, agricultural crops and aquatic flora and fauna. In so doing, the concept of biodiversity is discussed, and attention drawn to habitat loss and pollution as well as over-exploitation of biological resources over the last several decades. International cooperation in acquiring wild germplasm, especially of crop plants, is highlighted. Existing policies and legislations covering biological diversity are described. Finally, it is noted that key legislations for the protection of biological diversity are already in place but that what is required is effective implementation of these legislations. Kertaskerja ini meneliti status biodiversiti di negara ini dan hubungannya dengan ekosistem hutan, hidupan liar, ternakan, tanaman pertanian serta akuatik flora dan fauna. Dalam hai ini, konsep biodiversiti dibincangkan dengan penekanan ke atas kehilangan habitat dan pencemaran, juga eksploitasi yang keterlaluan sumber biologi sejak beberapa dekad yang lepas. Kerjasama antarabangsa dalam mendapatkan germplasma liar, terutama pokok tanaman turut diketengahkan. Kertas kerja ini juga menyentuh polisi dan peraturan yang berkaitan dengan biodiversiti. Perlu ditegaskan, meskipun pada masa ini telah terdapat undang-undang dan peraturan bagi melindungi biodiversiti, apa yang lebih penting iaitu pelaksanaan yang berkesan bagi peraturan-peraturan ini.
