Together, the data on the animal sounds and photos, the DNA they leave behind, and satellite observations provide a wealth
of biodiversity information.
The models used in this research come from the Wallace Initiative, a near decade long partnership between the Tyndall Centre at UEA, eResearch at James Cook University, the Global
Biodiversity Information Facility and WWF.
The data are published in a synthesis of 25 years» worth of state biodiversity inventories by The Nature Conservancy, the largest private U.S. conservation group, and a sister nonprofit, the Association
for Biodiversity Information.
Our goal is to help make the wealth of
biodiversity information on EOL accessible through free tools, resources and activities for students, educators, citizen scientists and nature enthusiasts!
The Census of Antarctic Marine Life and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research
Marine Biodiversity Information Network (SCAR - MarBIN) have strived to coordinate and unify the available scientific expertise and biodiversity data to improve our understanding of Southern Ocean biodiversity.
For the purposes of this study, the definition of the Antarctic region is the same as that used by the Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research Marine
Biodiversity Information Network (SCAR - MarBIN).
Participants are encouraged to submit their observations to iNaturalist or to the Global
Biodiversity Information Facility and contribute to biodiversity research efforts.
Since its establishment, GSF has launched four independent international collaborations: the
Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF), the Global Earthquake Model (GEM), and Scientific Collections International (SciColl).

The International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species, a global database that assesses the threat status of the world's known plant and animal species, is one of the chief sources of
biodiversity information.
«Scientific names are key carriers of
biodiversity information.
While the future for information access is one of the most exciting frontiers for our increasingly interconnected, accelerated society,
biodiversity information will continue to be grounded in this seminal work.
The Global
Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is the world's premiere source for information on biological specimen and observational data, providing on - line access to more than 300 million data records from around the world.
The study also points out the value of citizen scientists, crediting the data in the Global
Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) as crucial to a study of this scope and magnitude.
«I dream that in a few years, wherever a reference to a species occurs on the Internet, there will be a hyperlink to its page in the Encyclopaedia of Life,» says James Edwards, executive secretary of the Global
Biodiversity Information Facility and executive director of the EOL.
