  • Kerala has become the first state in India to complete the preparation of Peoples Biodiversity Registers (PBR) for each local self-government (LSG) body, ahead of the National Green Tribunal's deadline of January 31, 2020.
  • PBRs in Kerala document local biological resources and traditional knowledge associated with them, covering wild, aquatic, urban, and agro biodiversity, including various species of flora and fauna.
  • The PBR initiative not only catalogues biodiversity but also records people's traditional knowledge, utilization patterns, economic benefits, and ongoing changes affecting biological diversity resources within local communities.
