GBIF is a Govt-sponsored science research infrastructure initiative...
responsive to government needs/demands in biodiversity management – govt-initiated, and govt funded;
developing an advanced informatics infrastructure for the global scientific (+ national research institutions) community for accessing and sharing data and thereby making better use of the huge investments in data collection, storage, management and updating of biodiversity information in countries.
Only started in 2001....
GBIF’s growing global networkGBIF’s growing global network
Currently,50 countries, 40 international organisations
data provider / aggregator
Catalyse building a global informatics research infrastructure by:
GBIF’s multilateral mandate
- promoting global participation, working through and linking up a global network of partners
- Enabling publishing of biodiversity data- promoting development of
data exchange standards- building an informatics architecture
- capacity building- catalysing development of analytical tools
Seamless integration of data from many sources
Searches Taxonomic Geographic, by
country, region, or bounding-box
By dataset or a combination of these
Taxonomic browse navigation using choice of classification

Sterculiaceae (Meliaceae, Dipterocapaceae)
Summary of CC impactsSummary of CC impacts
All families and genera suffer habitat loss; Some do gain habitat potential, but this requires
migration and suitable habitat (for forests) at destination;
Important implications for REDD and other CC adaptation/mitigation programmes
