A quarter of a billion records project – celebrating the present, looking to the future

Evening event, by invitation.
The National Biodiversity Network (NBN) is a collaboration of organisations which are all committed to sharing biodiversity data and making it freely and publicly available. The organisations involved are drawn from the public, voluntary and commercial sectors. They range from government agencies, research organisations, local record centres, conservation charities and local and national recording groups. The NBN Gateway is the internet portal that allows anyone to access this information, freely and easily, and it currently holds more than 80 million species records. This number is increasing on a monthly basis as more organisations see the benefits of sharing their wildlife data.
