Wide participation at the grassroots is an important prerequisite for effective documentation, management and monitoring of biological resources. India has long recognised the need for the documentation of biodiversity and associated knowledge. Yet, the progress made through peoples’ biodiversity registers has been inadequate. It calls for a systemic intervention as envisaged in the NISARG Bharat (National Initiative for Sustained Assessment of Resource Governance) programme, which is the focus of the paper. It seeks to establish a national framework for electronic PBRs to simplify the process to ensure the participation of both experts and citizens. Anticipated outcomes include comprehensive documentation and accurate assessments of biodiversity and associated knowledge, informed decision-making about biodiversity conservation and bio-resource utilisation, and strengthened national bio-economies.
