GBIF: The Global Biodiversity Information Facility

GBIF: The Global Biodiversity Information Facility GBIF provides the human and informatics infrastructure to enable primary biodiversity data to be made discoverable and accessible via the Internet.

GBIF—the Global Biodiversity Information Facility—is an international network and research infrastructure aimed at providing anyone, anywhere, open access to data about all life on Earth. More than 1.8 billion species occurrence records, ranging from museum specimens to amateur observations, are accessible via the GBIF data portal. The data published through GBIF are used for a wide variety of sci

entific applications, including modelling the potential spread of invasive alien species, projecting impacts of climate change on biodiversity and establishing priorities for the collection of wild crop relatives.
