An Extension to the “Package of Modules and Methods for Trainers. Training for Biodiversity Management Committees – A Curricululm” with Special Focus on How to Document, Manage and Monitor Aquatic Ecosystems.

Why another toolkit?

This toolkit is an extension to the exiting Training Manual “Training – Biodiversity Management Committees. Package of Modules and Methods for Trainers” which can be downloaded via following link. This toolkit works as a detailed extension into Module 5 “Peoples Biodiversity Registers” (PBR) with a 5 step process on how to document a PBR. Also, this toolkit provides key methods on how to document traditional knowledge to ensure that Traditional Knowledge (TK) is documented. This toolkit goes beyond the legal framework of the Biodiversity D Act. It provides ideas, examples and methods on how local communities (via the BMC structure) as custodians of their own resources can document, manage and monitor their (aquatic) resources.
