LATEST NEWS

• The GBIF Secretariat is now accepting proposals for funding under

the 2016 Capacity Enhancement Support Programme.

• Agreement targets improved data exchange on Arctic species

A new partnership between GBIF and the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna Working Group (CAFF) aims to improve the quality and scope of Arctic biodiversity information available to science and society.

• Experts offer recommendations for improving GBIF-mediated data

for agrobiodiversity research

Task group report provides more than 50 recommendations for enhancing the coverage, completeness and usefulness of GBIF- mobilized data for research in agrobiodiversity.
