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.
