GBIF is a global platform that facilitates access to biodiversity data from multiple sources, supporting research, conservation, and policy-making. It provides standardized tools and protocols for the mobilization, sharing, and publishing of species occurrence records and related information, helping users explore biodiversity patterns across the world.
Key features of GBIF include an extensive, searchable database covering a wide range of taxa, from microorganisms to plants and animals. The platform supports data integration and interoperability through widely accepted standards, such as the Darwin Core metadata standard. GBIF also offers resources like citation tracking for biodiversity datasets to support academic research and data reuse. The infrastructure enables institutions, researchers, and citizen scientists to contribute and access high-quality biodiversity information, promoting data-driven decision-making for biodiversity conservation and management.
By making biodiversity data openly accessible, GBIF addresses gaps in knowledge about species distribution and status, helping to monitor ecosystem health and support global frameworks for biodiversity protection. Its comprehensive coverage and technical tools aim to enhance capacity building and collaboration among institutions worldwide, fostering sustainable data sharing and use in biodiversity science and policy.
