3. People’s Bidiversity Register (PBRs)

As per Biological Diversity Act Biodiversity Management Registers are to be prepared. The Register shall contain comprehensive information on availability, knowledge of local biological resources, their medicinal or any other use and traditional knowledge associated with them. People’s Biodiversity Registers were taken up in varios districts at Gramapanchayath level as suggested by the National Biodiversity Authority and direction of Secretary, Environment of Forests, Government of India while addressing the State Biodiversity Boards at Ooty meeting to review the working of State Biodiversity Boards. People’s Biodiversity Registers is a panchayat level register that documents local biodiversity and the local community’s knowledge on biodiversity including its conservation and traditional uses.

The PBR will serve the following objectives:

1. Community regulation of access to biological resources related to sustainable harvests.

2. Promoting knowledge based sustainable management of agriculture, livestock, fish, forest and public health so as to enhance the quality of life of the community members.


3. Opportunities to generate funds through the imposition of collection fees for access to biological resources.

4. Conserving valuable Resources. 5. Value addition to biological resources. 6. Recording of biodiversity related knowledge, coupled with opportunities to

generate funds through imposition of collection fees for access to local knowledge. 7. Sharing the benefits of commercial application of local knowledge. 8. Help people access information of significance in management of their crops and

livestock, availability of seeds of various traditional crop cultivars, and special properties of these cultivars.

9. Help people share their special knowledge of uses and management of biological resources, access to information on technologies of relevance for better management of biodiversity resources, provide information on prevalent prices and quantities of that species to help estimate the level of commercial demand for the species.

10. Help continuation of traditional practices of conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity by facilitating their recognition and incorporation in the Biodiversity Management plans of local Biodiversity Management Committees.

11. Help empower women and other weaker sections of communities intimately linked to biodiversity by involving them in the process of documentation and development of the Biodiversity Management Plans of local Biodiversity Management Committees.

12. Help preserve the biodiversity related knowledge of people for the posterity through its codification and recording.

13. Help people publicize the nature of their special knowledge without disclosing full details, thereby opening avenues for arriving at contractual agreement with commercial enterprises interested in access to such knowledge.

14. Help local communities claim rewards in national conservation programmes.

The Forest Department, Universities, Colleges & NGOs have been involved as Nodal agency to guide and give technical expertise to Biodiversity Management Committies in PBR documentation.
