GBIF has published a new guide on policies and procedures to capture information for national species checklists.
The Best practice guide for compiling, maintaining and disseminating national species checklists is a tool to help improve the capacity of a country to document, and thus better manage, its biodiversity. Freely available through GBIF’s Online Resource Centre, it draws on the particular experiences of South Africa’s checklist development to offer insights and detailed advice relevant to other countries.
