GBIF—the Global Biodiversity Information Facility—is an international network and data infrastructure funded by the world's governments and aimed at providing anyone, anywhere, open access to data about all types of life on Earth.

Coordinated through its Secretariat in Copenhagen, the GBIF network of participating countries and organizations, working through participant nodes, provides data-holding institutions around the world with common standards, best practices and open-source tools enabling them to share information about where and when species have been recorded. This knowledge derives from many sources, including everything from museum specimens collected in the 18th and 19th century to geotagged smartphone photos shared by amateur naturalists in recent days and weeks

The Governors’ Climate & Forests Task Force is a subnational collaboration of 38 states and provinces working to protect tropical forests, reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and promote realistic pathways to forest-maintaining rural development through direct partnerships with subnational governments, civil society, the private sector, indigenous peoples, and local communities.

iNaturalist addresses the critical need for comprehensive, real-time biodiversity data. As one of the largest sources of recent, on-the-ground biodiversity information globally, our platform empowers communities and scientists to document and share geotagged photos of species. This crowdsourced data collection, enhanced by our AI models and verified by a dedicated community, creates a robust and reliable dataset. The urgency of our work is underscored by the rapid loss of biodiversity worldwide. Accurate, real-time data is essential for informed conservation efforts, enabling the discovery of new species, monitoring of endangered species, and guiding biodiversity management decisions at local, national, and global levels.
