IUCN Red List assessment occurrence data for freshwater species native to the Lake Malawi/Nyasa/Niassa Catchment

Citation

Freshwater Biodiversity Unit (2020). IUCN Red List assessment occurrence data for freshwater species native to the Lake Malawi/Nyasa/Niassa Catchment. Version 1.1. International Union for Conservation of Nature. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/1z5fn8 accessed via GBIF.org on 2022-05-20.

Description

With funding from the JRS Biodiversity Foundation, the Freshwater Biodiversity Unit of the IUCN Global Species Programme implemented the project: "Biodiversity information for the Lake Malawi/Nyasa/Niassa Catchment Eastern Africa: Data for decision-makers". See https://www.iucn.org/theme/species/our-work/freshwater-biodiversity/what-we-do/lake-malawi-catchment for further details.

Through this project, Red List assessments of the extinction risk of all freshwater crabs, fishes, molluscs and shrimps, and selected freshwater plants, native to the Lake Malawi/Nyasa/Niassa Catchment were published on The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (https://www.iucnredlist.org/).

This resource represents the point occurrence data collated through this project and published as part of the species distribution maps.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

Occurrence records are provided for species native to the Lake Malawi/Nyasa/Niassa Catchment. However, occurrence records are not restricted to the catchment for species with wider distribution ranges.
