Preparation of Peoples Biodiversity Registers
National Biodiversity Authority (NBA) has been working in close collaboration with State Biodiversity Boards (SBBs), research/educational institutions, State Governments and civil society organizations to provide technical support for the constitution of BMCs and preparation of PBRs.
In collaboration with A.P. State Biodiversity Board our PACE already prepared 5 Peoples Biodiversity Registers and work is in proress in the following 6 Gram panchayaths in Andhra Pradesh.
| S.No. | Name of the BMC/Grama Panchayat | Mandal | District |
| 1. | Kappalli | Ramasamudram | Chittoor |
| 2. | Tekurupeta | Porumamilla | YSR Kadapa |
| 3. | Kalavapalli | Gopavaram | YSR Kadapa |
| 4. | RS Gajulapalli | Mahanandi | Kurnool |
| 5. | Narayanapuram | Bandiathmakuru | Kurnool |
| 6 | Bandakindapalli | Udayagiri | SPSR Nellore |
The Register will contain comprehensive information on the local biological resources, their medicinal or any other use or any other traditional knowledge associated with them. PBR should serve as a component of the knowledge base for conservation, sustainable use and equitable sharing of benefits of biodiversity and it should also be used in maintenance and prudent management of ecosystems such as forests, rivers, lakes, grasslands, ponds etc. This will then enhance the public awareness of the significance of conservation, sustainable use and equitable sharing of benefits of biodiversity and to catalyze grass roots action.
