Questions about GBIF

What does GBIF provide?

Biodiversity data portal connecting observations, datasets and contributing organisations, with provenance details.

Which publisher and domain are listed?

Global Biodiversity Information Facility is the publisher recorded for gbif.org. Follow the official destination and check its current details before acting.

Is inclusion a certification?

This is an editorial selection. It does not certify every statement, service or transaction on the external website.

Keep the context for your next step

Keep unit, period, area, producer, method and uncertainties. For air quality, record the index name too: a daily category does not describe an annual trend.
