The Mandate
Documenting Nature's Wealth
Effective conservation relies on data. Under the Biological Diversity Act 2002, local bodies are mandated to maintain People's Biodiversity Registers (PBRs). However, many require technical support for field surveys, taxonomy, and data management.
"We bridge the gap between policy and practice by providing on-ground scientific expertise."
Our Technical Role
Systematic field surveys for species ID.
Literature review & data compilation.
Database design for easy access.
Training local teams on data verification.
