Global Biodiversity Information Facility

The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is an international organization that encourages the sharing of biodiversity data worldwide. It provides a platform for scientists, researchers, and the public to access and contribute information about different species, their habitats, and distribution. By collecting data from various sources, such as museums and research institutions, GBIF helps track changes in biodiversity, which is vital for conservation efforts and understanding ecological health. Ultimately, GBIF aims to promote informed decision-making related to environmental management and biodiversity conservation globally.
