Prof. MD Subash chndran explained the significance of PBR in detail in this video.The Peoples’ Biodiversity Registers shall be maintained and validated by the Biodiversity Management Committees.


Biological Diversity Act 2002 has created space for making this much needed and significant transition in management of ecosystems and practice of science. This Act is a response to the many significant concerns emanating from new developments in biotechnology and information technology, and from the ongoing erosion of biodiversity.

Biological Diversity Act stipulates that “Every local body shall constitute a Biodiversity Management Committes (BMC) within its area for the purpose of promoting conservation, sustainable use and documentation of biological diversity including preservation of habitats, conservation of land races, folk varieties and cultivars, domesticated stocks and breeds of animals and micro-organisms and chronicling of knowledge relating to biological diversity”. While there are many significant initiatives such as Joint Forest Management and Watershed Development towards decentralization of ecosystem management, none of the institutions set up for the purpose have a statutory backing. The BMCs have the required legislative support and should therefore be in a position to strike roots more effectively.

Most significantly, BMCs would serve to take science right down to the grass-roots, since, as mentioned above, its rules stipulate that “The main function of the BMC is to prepare People's Biodiversity Register in consultation with local people. The Register shall contain comprehensive information on availability and knowledge of local biological resources, their medicinal or any other use or any other traditional knowledge associated with them.” The preparation of People's Biodiversity Registers (PBR) is thus an important element of the follow up of the Biological Diversity Act.
