    GBIF and conservation

    GBIF provides essential information on the past and present occurrence of species for assessing extinction risk, identifying and conserving key biodiversity areas, and monitoring invasive species

    Experts use open biodiversity data from the GBIF network to assess extinction risks, identify and conserve key biodiversity areas, and monitor invasive species.

    Hundreds of conservation biology publications and thousands of extinction risk assessments have used data from the GBIF network to map and analyze species distributions and set conservation priorities. This wide-ranging research informs conservation practices and policies and provides a foundational layer for numerous indicators that measure the state of the world's biodiversity.
