    O que é o GBIF?

    O GBIF — Sistema Global de Informação sobre Biodiversidade — é uma rede internacional e infraestrutura de dados financiada por governos de todo o mundo, para dar a qualquer pessoa, em qualquer lugar, acesso aberto a dados sobre toda a vida na Terra.

    Alterações climáticas

    artigos revistos utilizando dados

    Biodiversity loss and climate change interact in many ways, reflecting two sides of the same problem: humanity’s unsustainable relationship with the natural world. Explore the research relying on data from the GBIF network to understand and assess the growing impact that changing temperatures, precipitation and other climate-related phenomena are having on biodiversity.

    Espécies exóticas invasoras

    artigos revistos utilizando dados

    Information is the single most important variable necessary to support research, monitoring and management of alien and invasive species. From identifying and predicting potential invasions to improving management applications, detection strategies, and risk assessments, GBIF plays a pivotal role in fulfilling data needs about these costly and disruptive forces of change.

    Saúde humana

    artigos revistos utilizando dados

    Knowing where the species that transmit disease-causing pathogens occur is important for recognizing, managing and preventing potential threats to human communities. Data shared through the GBIF network enables scientists and researchers to map the wild host, vector and reservoir species involved in cycles of disease transmission and how their distributions are changing.

    IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™

    species assessments citing GBIF

    GBIF-mediated data is used for mapping species distributions and for calculating Area of Occupancy (AOO) and Extent of Occurrence, measures key to assessing threat level and categorizing species on the Red List.

    Thematic communities

    GBIF's data, infrastructure and services support cross-disciplinary research, creating new opportunities for evidence-based science and decision-making. With guidance from the GBIF Science Committee, we monitor signals from who's sharing and using data to pursue strategic opportunities with impact, continuously seeking to improve the quality, relevance and utility of biodiversity data for a wide array of communities across science, technology and policy.

    Hosted portals

    GBIF hosted portals offer simple, customizable websites that support biodiversity data use and engagement at national, institutional, regional and thematic scales. This service, which Participant nodes and their partners can apply to anytime, lowers the technical demands for delivering relevant biodiversity data to communities around the world.
