GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility)

The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is an international organization that gathers and shares data about the world's living organisms. It connects scientists, governments, and institutions to provide open access to information on species locations, populations, and diversity. This helps us understand and protect biodiversity by tracking changes, identifying conservation needs, and supporting research. Essentially, GBIF acts as a global database that makes biodiversity data easily available, fostering informed decisions for environmental preservation and sustainable management of natural resources.
