Species occurrence data
Species occurrence data records the specific locations where a particular plant, animal, or other organism has been observed or collected. It provides valuable information about where species live, how widespread they are, and their habitat preferences. Scientists and conservationists use this data to monitor biodiversity, track changes over time, and make informed decisions about protecting species and ecosystems. Essentially, it maps out the presence of species across different areas, helping us understand their distribution and how they interact with their environment.
