As part of Kalpavriksh Webinar series, we are now organising Webinar #4: CBRs, PBRs & e-PBRs: Community Participation in Biodiversity DocumentationHow do Community Biodiversity Registers (CBRs), People’s Biodiversity Registers (PBRs) and electronic PBRs (e-PBRs) differ, and what do they mean for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs)? The webinar explores how biodiversity documentation intersects with traditional knowledge, community rights, FPIC, benefit sharing and conservation. The webinar will examine the purpose, processes, ownership and governance of different documentation approaches, and the opportunities and challenges of digitisation. Join community representatives, biodiversity officials, researchers and civil society practitioners to discuss how documentation can become a more participatory, rights-based and equitable process that strengthens community knowledge, conservation and livelihoods.

As part of Kalpavriksh Webinar series, we are now organising Webinar #3: Protected Areas (PA), Human Rights & the CBD: What it means for India. 

KMGBF calls for a Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) in achieving Target 3, yet PA governance often overlooks indigenous and local communities’ conservation practices and rights. 

Join us as we explore how Target 3 can advance rights-based, equitable and effective PA governance by aligning conservation with community values, strengthening legal rights, implementing the Forest Rights Act, and maintaining ecological integrity and connectivity without compromising community rights. https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Ik98vhKjQnGUR2xYrll11Q
