Abstract This review paper explores the critical role of the People's Biodiversity Register (PBR) in promoting sustainable environmental conservation, with a focus on its implementation in India and its potential for global adaptation. The PBR serves as a decentralized tool to document local biological resources and traditional ecological knowledge. The paper reviews the structure, purpose, and current limitations of PBRs, particularly the challenges in data documentation, accessibility, and integration with development planning. It further highlights how the lack of standardized methodologies and expert-heavy processes hinders the inclusion of rural and indigenous knowledge systems, which are rapidly declining due to cultural shifts. Through comparative analysis of global documentation practices, the paper emphasizes the need for simplified, community-driven digital tools to preserve biodiversity knowledge. The integration of such data into infrastructure and land-use planning is also discussed as a pathway to balance ecological integrity with human development. This review ultimately underscores the PBR’s potential as a key instrument in biodiversity conservation, provided it evolves to become more inclusive, technologically adaptive, and policy-relevant.
