Mapping biodiversity and disseminating biodiversity related information on the state is one of the key mandates of the Board. For this development of Peoples Biodiversity Registers is the flagship programme. Facilitated by NGOs, academia and Government agencies, the process of developing PBRs solicits functional participation of village communities and ensures ownership at the same time the methodology harmonizes local know-how with scientific knowledge. Eco-regional assessments and thematic research anchored by leading academic institutions is another way of collating existing information and generating new information. Some of the salient outputs envisaged under this thematic area are:

• PBRs in 6 eco-regions
• PBRs driven by colleges/ Schools
• Eco-regional documents
• Thematic reports from eco-regions on different facets of Biodiversity
• State level reports on Sustainable limits/practices of focal taxa
• Book on best practices
